Montgomery County, not The Woodlands
Montgomery County context, not The Woodlands figures
These are Montgomery County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as The Woodlands measurements.
- Establishments in Montgomery County15,014
- Employment at those establishments, Montgomery County206,056
- Covered employment, Montgomery County227,434
- Average annual pay, Montgomery County$70,262
- Average weekly wage, Montgomery County$1,351
- Housing units permitted, Montgomery County13,246
- Of those, single family, Montgomery County11,586
- County product, 2024, Montgomery County$50,078,587,000
- County product change over the prior year, Montgomery County6.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Montgomery County$94,176
Every figure in this section is published for Montgomery County as a whole and is not a measurement of The Woodlands. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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
The Woodlands questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in The Woodlands, Texas?
121,002, in 44,062 households. The Woodlands CDP covers 43.27 square miles of land, which is 2,796 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is The Woodlands in?
The Woodlands lies in more than one. By area it is 83.8 percent in Montgomery County, 16.2 percent in Harris County. This page sits under Montgomery 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 The Woodlands?
$140,701. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $511,700. Median gross rent is $1,822 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to The Woodlands businesses?
72 7(a) approvals totalling $36.2 m, across 36 lenders, median approval $250,000, plus 7 504 approvals worth $13.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in The Woodlands, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to The Woodlands borrowers get paid back?
Of the 11 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 18.2 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page The Woodlands figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Montgomery 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 The Woodlands.
Is zoning published for The Woodlands?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
