Source: SBA 7(a) FOIA dataset. Charge Off % and Paid in Full % are measured against disbursed loans; Cancelled % and Disbursed % against all approvals in the current filter. Note: recent vintages are young, so realized charge-off rates understate through-cycle losses — see Historical Trends for seasoned vintages.
