Imperial County, not Calexico
Imperial County context, not Calexico figures
These are Imperial County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Calexico measurements.
- Establishments in Imperial County2,677
- Employment at those establishments, Imperial County34,323
- Covered employment, Imperial County67,166
- Average annual pay, Imperial County$54,639
- Average weekly wage, Imperial County$1,051
- Housing units permitted, Imperial County253
- Of those, single family, Imperial County153
- County product, 2024, Imperial County$12,907,423,000
- County product change over the prior year, Imperial County-0.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Imperial County$40,926
Every figure in this section is published for Imperial County as a whole and is not a measurement of Calexico. 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 Calexico businesses?
17 7(a) approvals totalling $13.7 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $175,000, plus 6 504 approvals worth $6.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Calexico, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Calexico borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Calexico. only 6 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 Calexico in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Calexico appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060067, 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 Calexico figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Imperial 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 Calexico.
Is zoning published for Calexico?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
