Santa Fe County, not Santa Fe
Santa Fe County context, not Santa Fe figures
These are Santa Fe County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Santa Fe measurements.
- Establishments in Santa Fe County4,976
- Employment at those establishments, Santa Fe County48,934
- Covered employment, Santa Fe County61,826
- Average annual pay, Santa Fe County$61,218
- Average weekly wage, Santa Fe County$1,177
- Housing units permitted, Santa Fe County244
- Of those, single family, Santa Fe County244
- County product, 2024, Santa Fe County$10,086,593,000
- County product change over the prior year, Santa Fe County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Santa Fe County$110,215
Every figure in this section is published for Santa Fe County as a whole and is not a measurement of Santa Fe. 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.
Common questions

$73,482. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $444,900. Median gross rent is $1,463 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Santa Fe businesses?
151 7(a) approvals totalling $78.0 m, across 40 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 90 504 approvals worth $43.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Santa Fe, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Santa Fe borrowers get paid back?
Of the 27 loans that have reached a final outcome, 26 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 3.7 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Santa Fe figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe.
Is zoning published for Santa Fe?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
