San Bernardino County, not Barstow
San Bernardino County context, not Barstow figures
These are San Bernardino County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Barstow measurements.
- Establishments in San Bernardino County42,571
- Employment at those establishments, San Bernardino County718,612
- Covered employment, San Bernardino County845,908
- Average annual pay, San Bernardino County$62,368

- Average income of an arriving household, San Bernardino County$60,991
Every figure in this section is published for San Bernardino County as a whole and is not a measurement of Barstow. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Barstow businesses?
32 7(a) approvals totalling $39.2 m, across 16 lenders, median approval $499,200, plus 21 504 approvals worth $41.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Barstow, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Barstow borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Barstow. only 8 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 Barstow in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Barstow appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060271, 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 Barstow figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for San Bernardino 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 Barstow.
Is zoning published for Barstow?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
