Is Pike County growing
- Population change since the 2020 census base-0.10 percent
- Census 2020 base population27,091

The average approval of $833,400 sits well above the median of $160,000, 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 10.0 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.
