Pinellas County, not St. Petersburg
Pinellas County context, not St. Petersburg figures
These are Pinellas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as St. Petersburg measurements.
- Establishments in Pinellas County32,509
- Employment at those establishments, Pinellas County425,004
- Covered employment, Pinellas County447,680
- Average annual pay, Pinellas County$67,519
- Average weekly wage, Pinellas County$1,298
- Housing units permitted, Pinellas County2,627
- Of those, single family, Pinellas County1,135

- County product change over the prior year, Pinellas County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Pinellas County$109,940
Every figure in this section is published for Pinellas County as a whole and is not a measurement of St. Petersburg. 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
St. Petersburg questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in St. Petersburg, Florida?
262,732, in 119,244 households. St. Petersburg city covers 61.80 square miles of land, which is 4,251 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is St. Petersburg in?
Pinellas 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 St. Petersburg?
$75,192. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $371,100. Median gross rent is $1,663 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to St. Petersburg businesses?
441 7(a) approvals totalling $253.0 m, across 92 lenders, median approval $280,000, plus 189 504 approvals worth $111.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in St. Petersburg, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to St. Petersburg borrowers get paid back?
Of the 71 loans that have reached a final outcome, 61 were paid in full and 10 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is St. Petersburg in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. St. Petersburg appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 125148, carrying Community Rating System class 5, 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 St. Petersburg figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Pinellas 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 St. Petersburg.
Is zoning published for St. Petersburg?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
