King County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 91 healthcare approvals in King County, $42,384,900 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 91 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Dollars behind them | $42,384,900 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Typical approval size | $465,768 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 1,205 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
At 26.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 91 prior King County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $227,273 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
