San Benito County, not Aromas
San Benito County context, not Aromas figures
These are San Benito County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Aromas measurements.
- Establishments in San Benito County1,168
- Employment at those establishments, San Benito County14,222
- Covered employment, San Benito County18,032
- Average annual pay, San Benito County$60,013
- Average weekly wage, San Benito County$1,154
- Housing units permitted, San Benito County281
- Of those, single family, San Benito County281

- County product change over the prior year, San Benito County9.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, San Benito County$97,031
Every figure in this section is published for San Benito County as a whole and is not a measurement of Aromas. 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 Aromas borrowers get paid back?

No, and they are labelled so.

Is zoning published for Aromas?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
