The average approval of $780,556 sits well above the median of $326,600, 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 26.5 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.

What this page does not hold.

- 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.

Cities and places in Loudon.
6 Census places lie wholly or partly in Loudon County. 6 carry enough published place level data for a page of their own and are linked. The rest are named here and not linked, because the American Community Survey and the SBA record between them do not carry enough about them to write an honest page. A place existing is itself worth knowing, so nothing in the county is left out.
| Place | Type | Population | SBA approvals | Lies in |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Tellico Village | CDP | 7,414 | None recorded | Wholly in this county |
