Collin County, not Allen
Collin County context, not Allen figures
These are Collin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Allen measurements.
- Establishments in Collin County31,012
- Employment at those establishments, Collin County528,596
- Covered employment, Collin County546,526
- Average annual pay, Collin County$88,091
- Average weekly wage, Collin County$1,694
- Housing units permitted, Collin County18,813
- Of those, single family, Collin County14,425
- County product, 2024, Collin County$115,357,858,000
- County product change over the prior year, Collin County8.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Collin County$104,234
Every figure in this section is published for Collin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Allen. 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
Allen questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Allen, Texas?
110,265, in 37,243 households. Allen city covers 26.40 square miles of land, which is 4,176 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Collin 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 Allen?
$130,901. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $464,100. Median gross rent is $1,932 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Allen businesses?
171 7(a) approvals totalling $118.0 m, across 70 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 24 504 approvals worth $29.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Allen, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Allen borrowers get paid back?
Of the 34 loans that have reached a final outcome, 33 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 2.9 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Allen in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Allen appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480131, 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 Allen figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Collin 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 Allen.
Is zoning published for Allen?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
