Tulare County, not Tulare
Tulare County context, not Tulare figures
These are Tulare County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Tulare measurements.
- Establishments in Tulare County7,189
- Employment at those establishments, Tulare County107,492
- Covered employment, Tulare County177,657
- Average annual pay, Tulare County$53,038
- Average weekly wage, Tulare County$1,020
- Housing units permitted, Tulare County1,447
- Of those, single family, Tulare County1,112
- County product, 2024, Tulare County$25,414,754,000
- County product change over the prior year, Tulare County6.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tulare County$51,953
Every figure in this section is published for Tulare County as a whole and is not a measurement of Tulare. 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.

40 7(a) approvals totalling $39.0 m, across 21 lenders, median approval $500,000, plus 30 504 approvals worth $24.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Tulare, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Tulare borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Tulare. only 9 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 Tulare in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Tulare appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 065065, 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 Tulare figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Tulare 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 Tulare.
Is zoning published for Tulare?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
