Nevada County, not Truckee
Nevada County context, not Truckee figures
These are Nevada County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Truckee measurements.
- Establishments in Nevada County3,323
- Employment at those establishments, Nevada County27,771
- Covered employment, Nevada County35,000
- Average annual pay, Nevada County$62,734
- Average weekly wage, Nevada County$1,206
- Housing units permitted, Nevada County215
- Of those, single family, Nevada County215
- County product, 2024, Nevada County$6,221,340,000
- County product change over the prior year, Nevada County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nevada County$133,259
Every figure in this section is published for Nevada County as a whole and is not a measurement of Truckee. 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
Truckee questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Truckee, California?
17,066, in 6,860 households. Truckee town covers 32.33 square miles of land, which is 528 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Truckee in?
Nevada 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 Truckee?
$130,462. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $947,900. Median gross rent is $1,961 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Truckee businesses?
32 7(a) approvals totalling $21.0 m, across 18 lenders, median approval $290,000, plus 18 504 approvals worth $18.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Truckee, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Truckee borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Truckee. only 9 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 Truckee in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Truckee appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060762, 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 Truckee figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Nevada 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 Truckee.
Is zoning published for Truckee?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
