Bingham County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The county file holds 0 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 0 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $0 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | No approvals recorded | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 22 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
139.9 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. Bingham County has 0 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $69,091 in Blackfoot is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
