Williamson County, not Leander
Williamson County context, not Leander figures
These are Williamson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Leander measurements.
- Establishments in Williamson County15,041
- Employment at those establishments, Williamson County203,878
- Covered employment, Williamson County232,299
- Average annual pay, Williamson County$80,330
- Average weekly wage, Williamson County$1,545
- Housing units permitted, Williamson County7,529
- Of those, single family, Williamson County6,024
- County product, 2024, Williamson County$44,609,827,000
- County product change over the prior year, Williamson County8.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Williamson County$101,928
Every figure in this section is published for Williamson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Leander. 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
Leander questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Leander, Texas?
74,067, in 26,326 households. Leander city covers 38.80 square miles of land, which is 1,909 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Leander in?
Leander lies in more than one. By area it is 75.9 percent in Williamson County, 24.1 percent in Travis County. This page sits under Williamson 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 Leander?
$139,048. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $506,200. Median gross rent is $1,939 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Leander businesses?
150 7(a) approvals totalling $126.1 m, across 56 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 29 504 approvals worth $31.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Leander, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Leander borrowers get paid back?
Of the 20 loans that have reached a final outcome, 16 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 20.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Leander in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Leander appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 481536, 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 Leander figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Williamson 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 Leander.
Is zoning published for Leander?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
