Santa Clara County, not Sunnyvale
Santa Clara County context, not Sunnyvale figures
These are Santa Clara County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sunnyvale measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Santa Clara County1,171,397
- Covered employment, Santa Clara County1,116,581

Every figure in this section is published for Santa Clara County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sunnyvale. 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.
Common questions
Sunnyvale questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Sunnyvale, California?
154,236, in 60,293 households. Sunnyvale city covers 22.06 square miles of land, which is 6,992 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Santa Clara County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Sunnyvale?
$186,170. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $1,801,800. Median gross rent is $3,039 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Sunnyvale businesses?
105 7(a) approvals totalling $82.7 m, across 36 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 50 504 approvals worth $59.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sunnyvale, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sunnyvale borrowers get paid back?
Of the 19 loans that have reached a final outcome, 18 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 5.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Sunnyvale in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sunnyvale appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060352, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Sunnyvale figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Santa Clara 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 Sunnyvale.
Is zoning published for Sunnyvale?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
