The lending record behind Selma
The published file shows 21 healthcare approvals in Fresno County, $12,310,100 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 21 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $12,310,100 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Typical approval size | $586,195 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 379 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 55.1 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Fresno County already carries $12,310,100 across 21 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $55,839 in Selma is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
The order comes from Selma's own provider mix, which primary care and family medicine dominates at 19 percent. What a partner can actually place in California is a separate question.
The first pages of a Selma file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: primary care and family medicine, general dentistry, physical, occupational, and speech therapy
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Primary care and family medicine (25) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (22) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (18) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
Column one counts Selma clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Selma file differently.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Selma
Hanford-Corcoran, CA lies 17 miles from Selma, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Hanford-Corcoran, CA rents while 24,505 residents set the revenue ceiling. At $55,839 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. With no hospital in town, a projection has to name where referrals and coverage come from. A college in Selma puts a term-shaped curve into monthly collections.
