The lending record behind Jeffersontown
The county file holds 1 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 1 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Dollars behind them | $591,100 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |
| Typical approval size | $591,100 | The dollar column over the approval column [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 515 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 9.2 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A short county record of 1 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. Household income of $78,185 in Jeffersontown is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
