Washington County, not California
Washington County context, not California figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as California measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County5,340
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County84,410
- Covered employment, Washington County87,434
- Average annual pay, Washington County$72,319
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$1,391
- Housing units permitted, Washington County450
- Of those, single family, Washington County415
- County product, 2024, Washington County$18,671,970,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washington County3.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$78,911
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of California. 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
California questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in California, Pennsylvania?
4,864, in 1,407 households. California borough covers 11.01 square miles of land, which is 442 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is California in?
Washington 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 California?
$48,606. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $152,200. Median gross rent is $806 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to California businesses?
1 7(a) approvals totalling $80,000, across 1 lenders, median approval $80,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in California, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to California borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for California. only 1 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 California in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. California appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420848, 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 California figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Washington 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 California.
Is zoning published for California?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
