McLennan County, not West
McLennan County context, not West figures
These are McLennan County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as West measurements.
- Establishments in McLennan County5,928
- Employment at those establishments, McLennan County111,600
- Covered employment, McLennan County122,697
- Average annual pay, McLennan County$60,387
- Average weekly wage, McLennan County$1,161
- Housing units permitted, McLennan County1,046
- Of those, single family, McLennan County744
- County product, 2024, McLennan County$18,479,147,000
- County product change over the prior year, McLennan County5.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, McLennan County$68,542
Every figure in this section is published for McLennan County as a whole and is not a measurement of West. 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
West questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in West, Texas?
2,576, in 910 households. West city covers 1.71 square miles of land, which is 1,509 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is West in?
McLennan County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$61,875. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $182,900. Median gross rent is $1,002 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to West businesses?
3 7(a) approvals totalling $1.1 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $350,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in West, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to West borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for West. only 1 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 West in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. West appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480931, 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 West figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for McLennan 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 West.
Is zoning published for West?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
