Sonoma County, not Sebastopol
Sonoma County context, not Sebastopol 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 Sebastopol 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 Sebastopol. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Sebastopol businesses?
35 7(a) approvals totalling $17.4 m, across 18 lenders, median approval $349,000, plus 18 504 approvals worth $13.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sebastopol, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sebastopol borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Sebastopol. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Sebastopol in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sebastopol appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060382, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Sebastopol figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sonoma 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 Sebastopol.
Is zoning published for Sebastopol?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
