Inyo County, not Bishop
Inyo County context, not Bishop figures
These are Inyo County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bishop measurements.
- Establishments in Inyo County505
- Employment at those establishments, Inyo County5,048
- Covered employment, Inyo County7,718
- Average annual pay, Inyo County$61,041
- Average weekly wage, Inyo County$1,174
- Housing units permitted, Inyo County13
- Of those, single family, Inyo County13
- County product, 2024, Inyo County$1,555,469,000
- County product change over the prior year, Inyo County3.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Inyo County$67,862
Every figure in this section is published for Inyo County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bishop. 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
Bishop questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Bishop, California?
3,778, in 2,133 households. Bishop city covers 1.86 square miles of land, which is 2,027 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Inyo County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$83,686. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $386,400. Median gross rent is $1,580 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Bishop businesses?
15 7(a) approvals totalling $16.7 m, across 12 lenders, median approval $505,000, plus 5 504 approvals worth $4.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Bishop, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Bishop borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Bishop. only 4 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 Bishop in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Bishop appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060074, 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 Bishop figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Inyo 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 Bishop.
Is zoning published for Bishop?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
