Maricopa County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 165 healthcare approvals in Maricopa County, $99,048,100 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 165 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $99,048,100 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Typical approval size | $600,292 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 2,460 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 87.8 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 165 prior Maricopa County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $236,250 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Paradise Valley households actually spend.
