Bell County, not Killeen
Bell County context, not Killeen figures
These are Bell County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Killeen measurements.
- Establishments in Bell County5,923
- Employment at those establishments, Bell County104,607
- Covered employment, Bell County129,627
- Average annual pay, Bell County$62,107
- Average weekly wage, Bell County$1,194
- Housing units permitted, Bell County3,243
- Of those, single family, Bell County2,655
- County product, 2024, Bell County$26,057,405,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bell County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bell County$55,265
Every figure in this section is published for Bell County as a whole and is not a measurement of Killeen. 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
Killeen questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Killeen, Texas?
158,159, in 59,769 households. Killeen city covers 54.63 square miles of land, which is 2,895 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Killeen in?
Bell County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$60,977. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $215,400. Median gross rent is $1,208 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Killeen businesses?
95 7(a) approvals totalling $64.2 m, across 43 lenders, median approval $246,500, plus 19 504 approvals worth $19.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Killeen, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Killeen borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 12 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Killeen in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Killeen appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480031, 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 Killeen figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bell 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 Killeen.
Is zoning published for Killeen?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
