Fresno County, not Fresno
Fresno County context, not Fresno figures
These are Fresno County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fresno measurements.
- Establishments in Fresno County19,144
- Employment at those establishments, Fresno County301,731
- Covered employment, Fresno County427,076
- Average annual pay, Fresno County$57,904
- Average weekly wage, Fresno County$1,114
- Housing units permitted, Fresno County2,439
- Of those, single family, Fresno County2,131
- County product, 2024, Fresno County$64,216,914,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fresno County6.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fresno County$59,237
Every figure in this section is published for Fresno County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fresno. 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
Fresno questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Fresno, California?
545,970, in 180,450 households. Fresno city covers 115.91 square miles of land, which is 4,710 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Fresno in?
Fresno 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 Fresno?
$70,991. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $374,800. Median gross rent is $1,421 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Fresno businesses?
513 7(a) approvals totalling $356.3 m, across 84 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 280 504 approvals worth $219.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Fresno, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Fresno borrowers get paid back?
Of the 79 loans that have reached a final outcome, 73 were paid in full and 6 charged off, a charge off rate of 7.6 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Fresno in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fresno appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060048, carrying Community Rating System class 8, 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 Fresno figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Fresno 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 Fresno.
Is zoning published for Fresno?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
