Marin County, not San Anselmo
Marin County context, not San Anselmo figures
These are Marin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as San Anselmo measurements.
- Establishments in Marin County10,049
- Employment at those establishments, Marin County106,249
- Covered employment, Marin County110,934
- Average annual pay, Marin County$93,552
- Average weekly wage, Marin County$1,799
- Housing units permitted, Marin County158
- Of those, single family, Marin County151
- County product, 2024, Marin County$36,853,590,000
- County product change over the prior year, Marin County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Marin County$309,655
Every figure in this section is published for Marin County as a whole and is not a measurement of San Anselmo. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in San Anselmo, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to San Anselmo borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for San Anselmo. 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 San Anselmo in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. San Anselmo appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060180, carrying Community Rating System class 8, 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 San Anselmo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Marin 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 San Anselmo.
Is zoning published for San Anselmo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
