Tehama County, not Red Bluff
Tehama County context, not Red Bluff figures
These are Tehama County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Red Bluff measurements.
- Establishments in Tehama County999
- Employment at those establishments, Tehama County13,620
- Covered employment, Tehama County19,740
- Average annual pay, Tehama County$57,144
- Average weekly wage, Tehama County$1,099
- Housing units permitted, Tehama County186
- Of those, single family, Tehama County186

- County product change over the prior year, Tehama County1.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tehama County$53,768
Every figure in this section is published for Tehama County as a whole and is not a measurement of Red Bluff. 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.

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

Is Red Bluff in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Red Bluff appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 065053, 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 Red Bluff figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Tehama 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 Red Bluff.
Is zoning published for Red Bluff?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
