The average approval of $632,197 sits well above the median of $250,000, so a small number of large deals is pulling the mean up. The median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here actually gets. Only 20.6 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.

Of the 2,555 loans that have reached a final outcome, 12.1 percent were charged off. This is computed only over resolved loans, because a loan still running has not yet succeeded or failed and counting it either way would be wrong. Among industries with at least ten resolved loans, Women's, Children's, and Infants' Clothing and Accessories Merchant Wholesalers carries the highest charge off rate at 21.1 percent.

Compare against the national and state SBA charge-off rates, computed the same way over resolved loans only.

Coverage

What this page does not hold.

Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.

  • Flood zone record counts are not held. The flood coverage export has not landed, so no count is shown rather than an estimated one.
  • Traffic counts resolve in the platform, not in this dataset, so no AADT figure is printed here.
  • Zoning is in build. Parcel level zoning is not published on this page.

A further 4,065 SBA approvals in Los Angeles County are recorded against borrower cities that match no Census place, the largest being North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Valencia. Those are postal cities and unincorporated areas rather than incorporated places, so no page claims them, and their lending is counted in this county's totals above rather than under any city.
