Sacramento County, not North Highlands
Sacramento County context, not North Highlands figures
These are Sacramento County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as North Highlands measurements.
- Establishments in Sacramento County34,280
- Employment at those establishments, Sacramento County533,709
- Covered employment, Sacramento County726,937
- Average annual pay, Sacramento County$80,125
- Average weekly wage, Sacramento County$1,541
- Housing units permitted, Sacramento County6,747
- Of those, single family, Sacramento County4,868
- County product, 2024, Sacramento County$135,538,141,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sacramento County7.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sacramento County$82,545
Every figure in this section is published for Sacramento County as a whole and is not a measurement of North Highlands. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.

Do SBA loans to North Highlands borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page North Highlands figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sacramento 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 North Highlands.
Is zoning published for North Highlands?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
