Shasta County, not Redding
Shasta County context, not Redding figures
These are Shasta County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Redding measurements.
- Establishments in Shasta County4,508
- Employment at those establishments, Shasta County53,944
- Covered employment, Shasta County70,090
- Average annual pay, Shasta County$59,352
- Average weekly wage, Shasta County$1,141
- Housing units permitted, Shasta County246
- Of those, single family, Shasta County246
- County product, 2024, Shasta County$11,869,690,000
- County product change over the prior year, Shasta County7.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Shasta County$65,210
Every figure in this section is published for Shasta County as a whole and is not a measurement of Redding. 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

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Redding, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Redding borrowers get paid back?

Is Redding in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Redding appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060360, 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 Redding figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Shasta 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 Redding.
Is zoning published for Redding?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
