The lending record behind Key West
The county file holds 0 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 0 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $0 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | No approvals recorded | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 59 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
A file from here opens on 116.9 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. Monroe County has 0 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. A $78,532 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Where a file from this town usually lands

What owners in Key West ask
01How many providers practice in Key West, and in what?
295 enumerations sit at Key West addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 116.9 for every 10,000 residents. 15 percent of them are specialty physician groups, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy follows with 44. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 295 here cover fewer than 295 practices.
02Does being 110 miles out change the underwriting?
Distance does the work here. 110 miles out, Monroe County supplies the rent and resale comparables, which usually means a slower appraisal and a harder haircut on anything a funder would have to move to sell.
03What does Monroe County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Monroe County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Key West and evidences a staffing ramp in a 25,240 resident market.
04Why does Monroe County show so little SBA activity?
Monroe County shows 0 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 59 lending establishments operate locally.
05How does the hospital in Key West affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 3 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 116.9 per 10,000 market.
06Which fields carry the volume in Key West?
Volume concentrates in specialty physician groups, 45 of them, ahead of physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 44, across 29 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
