How this data lands in an underwriting decision
21.5 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 21 approvals worth $12,310,100 in Fresno County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. With $78,014 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Coalinga households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Commercial real estate, owner-occupied
Weighted by how often each of the 16 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. California rules and the partner decide availability.

How Coalinga sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Hanford-Corcoran, CA is 40 miles. That is close enough for rent in Coalinga to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. At $78,014 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. Because a certified hospital sits inside the town, both the referral path and the pay a clinical hire expects are already observable. Higher education here explains why summer looks unlike the rest of the year.
