Pima County, not Tucson
Pima County context, not Tucson figures
These are Pima County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Tucson measurements.
- Establishments in Pima County21,381
- Employment at those establishments, Pima County341,481
- Covered employment, Pima County386,312
- Average annual pay, Pima County$61,936
- Average weekly wage, Pima County$1,191
- Housing units permitted, Pima County5,250
- Of those, single family, Pima County4,150
- County product, 2024, Pima County$66,711,927,000
- County product change over the prior year, Pima County5.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Pima County$81,188
Every figure in this section is published for Pima County as a whole and is not a measurement of Tucson. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Tucson questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Tucson, Arizona?
547,073, in 228,020 households. Tucson city covers 242.20 square miles of land, which is 2,259 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Tucson in?
Pima County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Tucson?
$57,073. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $266,200. Median gross rent is $1,145 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Tucson businesses?
730 7(a) approvals totalling $437.6 m, across 100 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 213 504 approvals worth $154.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Tucson, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Tucson borrowers get paid back?
Of the 120 loans that have reached a final outcome, 108 were paid in full and 12 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Tucson in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Tucson appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 040076, carrying Community Rating System class 6, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Tucson figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Pima County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Tucson.
Is zoning published for Tucson?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
