Los Angeles County, not La Puente
Los Angeles County context, not La Puente figures
These are Los Angeles County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Puente measurements.
- Establishments in Los Angeles County304,988
- Employment at those establishments, Los Angeles County3,987,736
- Covered employment, Los Angeles County4,525,711
- Average annual pay, Los Angeles County$83,554

- Average income of an arriving household, Los Angeles County$103,070
Every figure in this section is published for Los Angeles County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Puente. 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
La Puente questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in La Puente, California?
37,142, in 9,624 households. La Puente city covers 3.48 square miles of land, which is 10,678 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is La Puente in?
Los Angeles County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$86,602. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $617,700. Median gross rent is $1,849 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to La Puente businesses?
71 7(a) approvals totalling $39.4 m, across 33 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 34 504 approvals worth $40.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in La Puente, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to La Puente borrowers get paid back?
Of the 23 loans that have reached a final outcome, 19 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 17.4 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is La Puente in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. La Puente appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 065039, 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 La Puente figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Los Angeles 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 La Puente.
Is zoning published for La Puente?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
