Clay County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
With 1 healthcare approvals recorded, Clay County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 1 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Total approved capital | $180,800 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |
| Mean deal size | $180,800 | The dollar column over the approval column [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 153 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 47.4 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A short county record of 1 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $99,925 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.

Comparables and demand split at 19 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Kansas City, MO-KS; the revenue line has to hold up against 10,971 local residents.
04What does a $99,925 median income mean for case acceptance?

05Is there local lending capacity in Clay County?
