Fresno County, not Selma
Fresno County context, not Selma 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 Selma 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 Selma. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Selma businesses?
14 7(a) approvals totalling $14.5 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $400,000, plus 8 504 approvals worth $6.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Selma, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Selma borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Selma. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Selma in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Selma appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060056, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Selma 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 Selma.
Is zoning published for Selma?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
