Los Angeles County, not Los Angeles
Los Angeles County context, not Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 weekly wage, Los Angeles County$1,607
- Housing units permitted, Los Angeles County19,809
- Of those, single family, Los Angeles County9,106

- County product change over the prior year, Los Angeles County4.9 percent
- 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 Los Angeles. 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
Los Angeles questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Los Angeles, California?
3,857,263, in 1,439,097 households. Los Angeles city covers 470.52 square miles of land, which is 8,198 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Los Angeles in?
Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles?
$81,939. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $921,200. Median gross rent is $1,933 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Los Angeles businesses?
3,183 7(a) approvals totalling $2.05 bn, across 138 lenders, median approval $250,000, plus 1,532 504 approvals worth $1.86 bn. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Los Angeles, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Los Angeles borrowers get paid back?
Of the 553 loans that have reached a final outcome, 459 were paid in full and 94 charged off, a charge off rate of 17.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Los Angeles in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Los Angeles appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060137, carrying Community Rating System class 7, 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles.
Is zoning published for Los Angeles?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
