Tarrant County, not Fort Worth
Tarrant County context, not Fort Worth figures
These are Tarrant County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fort Worth measurements.
- Establishments in Tarrant County47,656
- Employment at those establishments, Tarrant County882,289
- Covered employment, Tarrant County1,010,352
- Average annual pay, Tarrant County$72,674
- Average weekly wage, Tarrant County$1,398
- Housing units permitted, Tarrant County18,858
- Of those, single family, Tarrant County9,380

- County product change over the prior year, Tarrant County6.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tarrant County$79,101
Every figure in this section is published for Tarrant County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fort Worth. 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
Fort Worth questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Fort Worth, Texas?
963,194, in 342,126 households. Fort Worth city covers 351.93 square miles of land, which is 2,737 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Fort Worth in?
Fort Worth lies in more than one. By area it is 91.7 percent in Tarrant County, 5.4 percent in Denton County, 2.7 percent in Parker County. This page sits under Tarrant 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 Fort Worth?
$79,507. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $303,000. Median gross rent is $1,509 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Fort Worth businesses?
917 7(a) approvals totalling $718.8 m, across 149 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 115 504 approvals worth $123.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Fort Worth, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Fort Worth borrowers get paid back?
Of the 160 loans that have reached a final outcome, 139 were paid in full and 21 charged off, a charge off rate of 13.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Fort Worth in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fort Worth appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480596, carrying Community Rating System class 7, 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 Fort Worth figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Tarrant 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 Fort Worth.
Is zoning published for Fort Worth?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
