Dallas County, not Dallas
Dallas County context, not Dallas 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 Dallas 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 Dallas. 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
Dallas questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Dallas, Texas?
1,307,930, in 533,915 households. Dallas city covers 339.69 square miles of land, which is 3,850 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Dallas in?
Dallas lies in more than one. By area it is 90.0 percent in Dallas County, 5.4 percent in Rockwall County, 3.2 percent in Collin County. This page sits under Dallas County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Dallas?
$70,518. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $320,700. Median gross rent is $1,472 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Dallas businesses?
1,722 7(a) approvals totalling $1.27 bn, across 183 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 189 504 approvals worth $217.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Dallas, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Dallas borrowers get paid back?
Of the 322 loans that have reached a final outcome, 296 were paid in full and 26 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Dallas in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dallas appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480171, carrying Community Rating System class 3, 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 Dallas 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 Dallas.
Is zoning published for Dallas?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
