Santa Cruz County, not La Selva Beach
Santa Cruz County context, not La Selva Beach figures
These are Santa Cruz County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Selva Beach measurements.
- Establishments in Santa Cruz County7,136
- Employment at those establishments, Santa Cruz County80,209
- Covered employment, Santa Cruz County104,514
- Average annual pay, Santa Cruz County$67,622
- Average weekly wage, Santa Cruz County$1,300
- Housing units permitted, Santa Cruz County259
- Of those, single family, Santa Cruz County189
- County product, 2024, Santa Cruz County$21,092,114,000
- County product change over the prior year, Santa Cruz County6.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Santa Cruz County$136,380
Every figure in this section is published for Santa Cruz County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Selva Beach. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
