| What it measures | Value | How to read it |

| Dollars behind them | $25,973,300 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $665,982 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 326 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
The ratio that matters up front is 96.4 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 39 prior Utah County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. Household income of $95,823 in American Fork is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
The order comes from American Fork's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 22 percent. What a partner can actually place in Utah is a separate question.
