Gonzales County, not Gonzales
Gonzales County context, not Gonzales figures
These are Gonzales County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Gonzales measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Gonzales County4,950
- Covered employment, Gonzales County7,180
- Average annual pay, Gonzales County$54,216
- Average weekly wage, Gonzales County$1,043

- County product change over the prior year, Gonzales County0.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Gonzales County$54,423
Every figure in this section is published for Gonzales County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gonzales. 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
Gonzales questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Gonzales, Texas?
7,200, in 2,926 households. Gonzales city covers 6.08 square miles of land, which is 1,184 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Gonzales in?
Gonzales 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 Gonzales?
$51,929. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $208,500. Median gross rent is $751 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Gonzales businesses?
12 7(a) approvals totalling $16.1 m, across 8 lenders, median approval $1,335,000, plus 8 504 approvals worth $7.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Gonzales, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Gonzales borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Gonzales. only 5 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 Gonzales in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Gonzales appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480254, 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 Gonzales figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Gonzales 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 Gonzales.
Is zoning published for Gonzales?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
