Madera County, not Madera
Madera County context, not Madera 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 Madera 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 Madera. 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 Madera businesses?
67 7(a) approvals totalling $59.5 m, across 27 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 31 504 approvals worth $36.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Madera, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Madera borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Madera. only 8 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 Madera in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Madera appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060172, 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 Madera figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Madera 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 Madera.
Is zoning published for Madera?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
