Orange County, not Huntington Beach
Orange County context, not Huntington Beach figures
These are Orange County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Huntington Beach measurements.
- Establishments in Orange County106,961
- Employment at those establishments, Orange County1,580,778
- Covered employment, Orange County1,661,276
- Average annual pay, Orange County$81,403
- Average weekly wage, Orange County$1,565
- Housing units permitted, Orange County6,972

- County product change over the prior year, Orange County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Orange County$114,759
Every figure in this section is published for Orange County as a whole and is not a measurement of Huntington Beach. 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
Huntington Beach questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Huntington Beach, California?

Orange County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$120,919. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $1,100,000. Median gross rent is $2,510 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Huntington Beach businesses?
290 7(a) approvals totalling $181.8 m, across 67 lenders, median approval $250,000, plus 98 504 approvals worth $87.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Huntington Beach, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Huntington Beach borrowers get paid back?
Of the 54 loans that have reached a final outcome, 47 were paid in full and 7 charged off, a charge off rate of 13.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Huntington Beach in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Huntington Beach appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 065034, carrying Community Rating System class 7, 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 Huntington Beach figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Orange 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 Huntington Beach.
Is zoning published for Huntington Beach?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
