The cohort is still maturing, and these rates are floors, with later data able only to raise them.

Membership in the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metro area follows the project county: Sacramento County, CA, Placer County, CA and the rest.

Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA: what a Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom feasibility study has to test

In Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, a study should be built for one site and one county, since area totals mix several markets. Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom lenders see full-service restaurant most often, so expect scrutiny of how Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom diners split by daypart, plus the lease term against payback and kitchen capacity against peak service. Projects in limited-service restaurant here turn on traffic counts and site visibility, with how a brand holds up in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom close behind. Debt service coverage in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom must hold in a soft year; the appraisal has to rest on local comparables and income. Since Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom loans skew large, the request must be tied to the project and not to the area.

Metro is the CBSA (metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area) of the loan's project county, July 2023 delineation (OMB Bulletin 23-01). The county is matched by name (manifests/ld2/county-cbsa-map.csv); a loan whose county cannot be placed in a 2023 CBSA is left out of every metro.

All assets: every 7(a) and 504 approval in the metro, including those outside the 39 asset classes.

A value marked withheld rests on fewer than 5 loans, or is withheld so that such a figure cannot be derived from other published figures.
