The lending record behind University Heights
43 healthcare approvals averaging $180,656 set the deal shape lenders in Cuyahoga County have already underwritten
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 43 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [6] |
| Approved dollars | $7,768,200 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [6] |
| Average approval | $180,656 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [6] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 715 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [7] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 62.6 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 43 prior Cuyahoga County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $98,474 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
