Hidalgo County, not Hidalgo
Hidalgo County context, not Hidalgo figures
These are Hidalgo County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hidalgo measurements.
- Establishments in Hidalgo County13,393
- Employment at those establishments, Hidalgo County227,682
- Covered employment, Hidalgo County291,901
- Average annual pay, Hidalgo County$42,905
- Average weekly wage, Hidalgo County$825
- Housing units permitted, Hidalgo County7,292
- Of those, single family, Hidalgo County4,336
- County product, 2024, Hidalgo County$31,357,426,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hidalgo County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hidalgo County$50,502
Every figure in this section is published for Hidalgo County as a whole and is not a measurement of Hidalgo. 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.

Hidalgo questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Hidalgo, Texas?
14,498, in 3,909 households. Hidalgo city covers 8.35 square miles of land, which is 1,737 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

How much SBA lending goes to Hidalgo businesses?
9 7(a) approvals totalling $2.1 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $15,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $5.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Hidalgo, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Hidalgo borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Hidalgo. only 2 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 Hidalgo in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Hidalgo appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480340, 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 Hidalgo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hidalgo 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 Hidalgo.
Is zoning published for Hidalgo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
