Harris County, not Tomball
Harris County context, not Tomball figures
These are Harris County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Tomball measurements.
- Establishments in Harris County111,215
- Employment at those establishments, Harris County2,182,164
- Covered employment, Harris County2,445,972
- Average annual pay, Harris County$88,554
- Average weekly wage, Harris County$1,703
- Housing units permitted, Harris County29,936
- Of those, single family, Harris County20,087
- County product, 2024, Harris County$592,750,582,000
- County product change over the prior year, Harris County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Harris County$73,835
Every figure in this section is published for Harris County as a whole and is not a measurement of Tomball. 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

Harris County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$78,562. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $364,300. Median gross rent is $1,226 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Tomball businesses?
201 7(a) approvals totalling $179.9 m, across 68 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 30 504 approvals worth $36.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Tomball, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Tomball borrowers get paid back?
Of the 25 loans that have reached a final outcome, 23 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Tomball in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Tomball appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480315, 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 Tomball figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Harris 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 Tomball.
Is zoning published for Tomball?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
