Orange County, not Placentia
Orange County context, not Placentia 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 Placentia 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 Placentia. 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
Placentia questions, answered from the record.

52,826, in 17,182 households. Placentia city covers 6.73 square miles of land, which is 7,847 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

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

$115,929. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $921,000. Median gross rent is $2,388 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Placentia businesses?
79 7(a) approvals totalling $56.3 m, across 38 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 47 504 approvals worth $61.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Placentia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Placentia borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Placentia. only 7 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 Placentia in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Placentia appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060229, 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 Placentia 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 Placentia.
Is zoning published for Placentia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
