| Approved dollars | $7,021,500 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [6] |
| Average approval | $390,083 | The dollar column over the approval column [6] |

The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 56.5 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 18 prior Prince George's County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $74,867 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
