Total gross unrealized losses represent approximately 5% and 1% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Approximately 92% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of December 31, 2020. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 15 and 11 individual securities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not recognize credit-related losses during the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.

The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 49% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Alabama and Maryland. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.1 million to $7.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and from $0.2 million to $8.0 million as of December 31, 2019.
Credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios. Loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are measures commonly used to assess the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage. The debt-service coverage ratio compares a property's net operating income to its debt-service payments and is commonly expressed as a ratio. The loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are updated annually in the fourth quarter.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at December 31, 2020:
