Tulare County, not Visalia
Tulare County context, not Visalia 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 Visalia 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 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 Visalia. 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.
Common questions
Visalia questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Visalia, California?
143,939, in 47,089 households. Visalia city covers 38.50 square miles of land, which is 3,739 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Visalia in?
Tulare County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Visalia?
$81,989. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $371,500. Median gross rent is $1,490 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Visalia businesses?
118 7(a) approvals totalling $88.2 m, across 40 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 98 504 approvals worth $61.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Visalia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Visalia borrowers get paid back?
Of the 20 loans that have reached a final outcome, 19 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 5.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Visalia in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Visalia appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060409, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Visalia 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 Visalia.
Is zoning published for Visalia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
