| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 126 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Approved dollars | $70,244,400 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |

What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 7.7 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Harris County already carries $70,244,400 across 126 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $54,167 in Galena Park is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
