Riverside County, not Murrieta
Riverside County context, not Murrieta 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 Murrieta 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

- 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 Murrieta. 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
Murrieta questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Murrieta, California?

$114,081. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $639,800. 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 Murrieta businesses?
255 7(a) approvals totalling $119.4 m, across 54 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 124 504 approvals worth $96.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Murrieta, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Murrieta borrowers get paid back?
Of the 55 loans that have reached a final outcome, 44 were paid in full and 11 charged off, a charge off rate of 20.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Murrieta in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Murrieta appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060751, carrying Community Rating System class 9, 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 Murrieta 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 Murrieta.
Is zoning published for Murrieta?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
