Yakima County, not Yakima
Yakima County context, not Yakima figures
These are Yakima County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Yakima measurements.
- Establishments in Yakima County5,010
- Employment at those establishments, Yakima County71,390
- Covered employment, Yakima County116,547
- Average annual pay, Yakima County$52,108
- Average weekly wage, Yakima County$1,002
- Housing units permitted, Yakima County515
- Of those, single family, Yakima County418
- County product, 2024, Yakima County$13,348,165,000
- County product change over the prior year, Yakima County0.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Yakima County$53,915
Every figure in this section is published for Yakima County as a whole and is not a measurement of Yakima. 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

How much SBA lending goes to Yakima businesses?
169 7(a) approvals totalling $86.6 m, across 41 lenders, median approval $155,000, plus 39 504 approvals worth $25.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Yakima, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Yakima borrowers get paid back?
Of the 30 loans that have reached a final outcome, 27 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Yakima figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Yakima 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 Yakima.
Is zoning published for Yakima?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
