This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Calpine through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 356 with a margin of error of plus or minus 234, which is 65.7 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Sierra County, not Calpine
Sierra County context, not Calpine figures
These are Sierra County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Calpine measurements.
- Establishments in Sierra County72
- Employment at those establishments, Sierra County204
- Covered employment, Sierra County611
- Average annual pay, Sierra County$50,525
- Average weekly wage, Sierra County$972
- Housing units permitted, Sierra County3
- Of those, single family, Sierra County3
- County product, 2024, Sierra County$127,150,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sierra County11.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sierra County$78,701
Every figure in this section is published for Sierra County as a whole and is not a measurement of Calpine. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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

Sierra County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Are the county figures on this page Calpine figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sierra 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 Calpine.
Is zoning published for Calpine?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
