Riverside County, not La Quinta
Riverside County context, not La Quinta figures
These are Riverside County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Quinta measurements.
- Establishments in Riverside County46,244
- Employment at those establishments, Riverside County687,526
- Covered employment, Riverside County840,433
- Average annual pay, Riverside County$59,734
- Average weekly wage, Riverside County$1,149
- Housing units permitted, Riverside County9,598
- Of those, single family, Riverside County8,016
- County product, 2024, Riverside County$134,756,586,000
- County product change over the prior year, Riverside County6.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Riverside County$80,685
Every figure in this section is published for Riverside County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Quinta. 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
La Quinta questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in La Quinta, California?
38,707, in 15,962 households. La Quinta city covers 35.29 square miles of land, which is 1,097 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is La Quinta in?
Riverside 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 La Quinta?
$99,250. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $661,600. Median gross rent is $1,785 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to La Quinta businesses?
44 7(a) approvals totalling $30.6 m, across 24 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 10 504 approvals worth $8.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in La Quinta, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to La Quinta borrowers get paid back?
Of the 11 loans that have reached a final outcome, 10 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 9.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is La Quinta in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. La Quinta appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060709, 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 La Quinta figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Riverside 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 La Quinta.
Is zoning published for La Quinta?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
