| Dollars behind them | $56,780,300 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Typical approval size | $465,412 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 2,528 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file

Programs the Brookfield mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition

Weighted by how often each of the 15 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Illinois rules and the partner decide availability.
