King County, not Auburn
King County context, not Auburn figures
These are King County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Auburn measurements.
- Establishments in King County70,376
- Employment at those establishments, King County1,305,947
- Covered employment, King County1,449,785
- Average annual pay, King County$132,279
- Average weekly wage, King County$2,544
- Housing units permitted, King County10,564
- Of those, single family, King County2,352
- County product, 2024, King County$477,154,354,000
- County product change over the prior year, King County7.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, King County$117,917
Every figure in this section is published for King County as a whole and is not a measurement of Auburn. 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
Auburn questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Auburn, Washington?
85,676, in 30,393 households. Auburn city covers 29.58 square miles of land, which is 2,897 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Auburn in?
Auburn lies in more than one. By area it is 94.5 percent in King County, 5.5 percent in Pierce County. This page sits under King 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 Auburn?
$97,884. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $547,900. Median gross rent is $1,786 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Auburn businesses?
194 7(a) approvals totalling $84.4 m, across 41 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 38 504 approvals worth $47.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Auburn, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Auburn borrowers get paid back?
Of the 44 loans that have reached a final outcome, 43 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 2.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Auburn figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for King 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 Auburn.
Is zoning published for Auburn?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
