This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Bass Lake through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 499 with a margin of error of plus or minus 293, which is 58.7 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Madera County, not Bass Lake
Madera County context, not Bass Lake figures
These are Madera County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bass Lake measurements.
- Establishments in Madera County2,366
- Employment at those establishments, Madera County30,472
- Covered employment, Madera County56,858
- Average annual pay, Madera County$56,070
- Average weekly wage, Madera County$1,078
- Housing units permitted, Madera County1,343
- Of those, single family, Madera County1,335
- County product, 2024, Madera County$8,846,190,000
- County product change over the prior year, Madera County9.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Madera County$65,197
Every figure in this section is published for Madera County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bass Lake. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
