San Benito County, not Hollister
San Benito County context, not Hollister 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 Hollister 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, 2024, San Benito County$3,284,723,000
- 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 Hollister. 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.

$111,834. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $717,500. Median gross rent is $1,914 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Hollister businesses?
43 7(a) approvals totalling $28.9 m, across 22 lenders, median approval $302,900, plus 16 504 approvals worth $14.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Hollister, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Hollister borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Hollister. only 4 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 Hollister in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Hollister appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060268, 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 Hollister figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for San Benito 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 Hollister.
Is zoning published for Hollister?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
