Jefferson County, not Imperial
Jefferson County context, not Imperial figures
These are Jefferson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Imperial measurements.
- Establishments in Jefferson County3,956
- Employment at those establishments, Jefferson County41,900
- Covered employment, Jefferson County49,458
- Average annual pay, Jefferson County$49,615
- Average weekly wage, Jefferson County$954
- Housing units permitted, Jefferson County811
- Of those, single family, Jefferson County695
- County product, 2024, Jefferson County$6,905,559,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jefferson County5.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jefferson County$60,779
Every figure in this section is published for Jefferson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Imperial. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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 Imperial businesses?
14 7(a) approvals totalling $13.0 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 6 504 approvals worth $1.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Imperial, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Imperial borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Imperial. only 4 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.
Are the county figures on this page Imperial figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jefferson 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 Imperial.
Is zoning published for Imperial?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
