Brazoria County, not Pearland
Brazoria County context, not Pearland figures
These are Brazoria County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Pearland measurements.
- Establishments in Brazoria County6,650
- Employment at those establishments, Brazoria County98,916
- Covered employment, Brazoria County122,793
- Average annual pay, Brazoria County$68,223
- Average weekly wage, Brazoria County$1,312
- Housing units permitted, Brazoria County3,963
- Of those, single family, Brazoria County3,363
- County product, 2024, Brazoria County$23,375,756,000
- County product change over the prior year, Brazoria County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Brazoria County$69,560
Every figure in this section is published for Brazoria County as a whole and is not a measurement of Pearland. 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
Pearland questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Pearland, Texas?
127,514, in 44,410 households. Pearland city covers 48.73 square miles of land, which is 2,617 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Pearland in?
Pearland lies in more than one. By area it is 87.1 percent in Brazoria County, 10.2 percent in Harris County, 2.7 percent in Fort Bend County. This page sits under Brazoria 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 Pearland?
$118,842. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $356,300. Median gross rent is $1,860 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Pearland businesses?
179 7(a) approvals totalling $77.6 m, across 60 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 31 504 approvals worth $30.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Pearland, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Pearland borrowers get paid back?
Of the 27 loans that have reached a final outcome, 23 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Pearland in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Pearland appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480077, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Pearland figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Brazoria 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 Pearland.
Is zoning published for Pearland?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
