Collin County, not Melissa
Collin County context, not Melissa 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 Melissa 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 Melissa. 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

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 Melissa?
$138,763. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $454,000. Median gross rent is $2,532 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Melissa businesses?
44 7(a) approvals totalling $33.6 m, across 26 lenders, median approval $343,700, plus 5 504 approvals worth $12.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Melissa, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Melissa borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Melissa. only 3 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 Melissa in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Melissa appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 481626, 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 Melissa 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 Melissa.
Is zoning published for Melissa?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
