Webb County, not Laredo
Webb County context, not Laredo figures
These are Webb County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Laredo measurements.
- Establishments in Webb County5,840
- Employment at those establishments, Webb County83,434
- Covered employment, Webb County107,433
- Average annual pay, Webb County$46,378
- Average weekly wage, Webb County$892
- Housing units permitted, Webb County1,448
- Of those, single family, Webb County1,154
- County product, 2024, Webb County$16,130,853,000
- County product change over the prior year, Webb County-0.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Webb County$49,166
Every figure in this section is published for Webb County as a whole and is not a measurement of Laredo. 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
Laredo questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Laredo, Texas?
257,619, in 78,082 households. Laredo city covers 109.09 square miles of land, which is 2,361 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Laredo in?
Webb County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Laredo?
$63,915. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $193,500. Median gross rent is $1,030 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Laredo businesses?
138 7(a) approvals totalling $73.3 m, across 35 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 41 504 approvals worth $68.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Laredo, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Laredo borrowers get paid back?
Of the 28 loans that have reached a final outcome, 20 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 28.6 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Laredo in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Laredo appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480651, carrying Community Rating System class 8, 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 Laredo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Webb 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 Laredo.
Is zoning published for Laredo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
