San Diego County, not Bonita
San Diego County context, not Bonita figures
These are San Diego County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bonita measurements.
- Establishments in San Diego County93,407
- Employment at those establishments, San Diego County1,391,721
- Covered employment, San Diego County1,536,541
- Average annual pay, San Diego County$82,854
- Average weekly wage, San Diego County$1,593
- Housing units permitted, San Diego County11,572
- Of those, single family, San Diego County3,377
- County product, 2024, San Diego County$331,867,565,000
- County product change over the prior year, San Diego County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, San Diego County$103,475
Every figure in this section is published for San Diego County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bonita. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Bonita businesses?
22 7(a) approvals totalling $6.8 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 3 504 approvals worth $3.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Bonita, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Bonita borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Bonita. 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.
Are the county figures on this page Bonita figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for San Diego 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 Bonita.
Is zoning published for Bonita?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
