What lenders have already approved in Los Angeles County
The published file shows 298 healthcare approvals in Los Angeles County, $229,015,900 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 298 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [4] |
| Approved dollars | $229,015,900 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |
| Average approval | $768,510 | Dollars divided by approvals [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 4,689 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 119.3 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Los Angeles County already carries $229,015,900 across 298 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $152,019 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Hermosa Beach households actually spend.
