Sonoma County, not Occidental
Sonoma County context, not Occidental figures
These are Sonoma County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Occidental measurements.
- Establishments in Sonoma County14,572
- Employment at those establishments, Sonoma County177,367
- Covered employment, Sonoma County206,849
- Average annual pay, Sonoma County$71,422
- Average weekly wage, Sonoma County$1,373
- Housing units permitted, Sonoma County1,012
- Of those, single family, Sonoma County832
- County product, 2024, Sonoma County$39,448,025,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sonoma County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sonoma County$142,818
Every figure in this section is published for Sonoma County as a whole and is not a measurement of Occidental. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
