Mendocino County, not Ukiah
Mendocino County context, not Ukiah figures
These are Mendocino County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ukiah measurements.
- Establishments in Mendocino County2,432
- Employment at those establishments, Mendocino County23,356
- Covered employment, Mendocino County32,084
- Average annual pay, Mendocino County$53,903
- Average weekly wage, Mendocino County$1,037
- Housing units permitted, Mendocino County9
- Of those, single family, Mendocino County9
- County product, 2024, Mendocino County$4,692,543,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mendocino County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mendocino County$81,776
Every figure in this section is published for Mendocino County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ukiah. 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 Ukiah businesses?
22 7(a) approvals totalling $20.0 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $351,000, plus 15 504 approvals worth $11.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Ukiah, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Ukiah borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Ukiah. only 2 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 Ukiah in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Ukiah appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060186, 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 Ukiah figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mendocino 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 Ukiah.
Is zoning published for Ukiah?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
