Dallas County, not Garland
Dallas County context, not Garland figures
These are Dallas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Garland measurements.
- Establishments in Dallas County71,182
- Employment at those establishments, Dallas County1,648,702
- Covered employment, Dallas County1,826,215
- Average annual pay, Dallas County$89,284
- Average weekly wage, Dallas County$1,717
- Housing units permitted, Dallas County12,711
- Of those, single family, Dallas County5,655
- County product, 2024, Dallas County$389,402,358,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dallas County4.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dallas County$89,056
Every figure in this section is published for Dallas County as a whole and is not a measurement of Garland. 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
Garland questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Garland, Texas?
246,844, in 81,954 households. Garland city covers 56.86 square miles of land, which is 4,341 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Garland in?
Dallas County, which holds 99.9 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Garland?
$76,320. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $270,800. Median gross rent is $1,641 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Garland businesses?
195 7(a) approvals totalling $164.4 m, across 73 lenders, median approval $399,500, plus 35 504 approvals worth $38.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Garland, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Garland borrowers get paid back?
Of the 37 loans that have reached a final outcome, 33 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Garland in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Garland appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 485471, carrying Community Rating System class 6, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Garland figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dallas 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 Garland.
Is zoning published for Garland?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
