Texas next to the U.S.
| Measure | Texas | United States | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industry's share of all SBA loans | 1.2% | 1.8% | Clearly lower |
| Median loan | $96,500 | $67,700 | No clear gap |
| Middle half of loans | $22,800 to $205,300 | $29,925 to $150,000 | – |
| Startups (the loan opens the business) | 4.0% | 4.7% | No clear gap |
| In business 2 years or less | 28.6% | 18.9% | Clearly higher |
| In business more than 2 years | 63.6% | 73.9% | Clearly lower |
| Change of ownership | Fewer than 5 | 1.3% | n/a |
| SBA Express | 41.4% | 60.1% | Clearly lower |
| Lines of credit | 32.0% | 28.2% | No clear gap |
| Median term | 10 years | 10 years | – |
| Median spread over Prime at approval | 3.75 points over Prime | 2.5 points over Prime | – |
Clearly higher and clearly lower mark a gap large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. Spread over Prime is the rate at approval minus Prime that day, so it is not today's rate. Rows with a dash are shown for reference.
