What lenders have already approved in Paulding County
3 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 3 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $1,530,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $510,000 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 42 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 264.9 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Paulding County has 3 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $73,387 in Dallas is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.

The 29 fields practicing locally set this order. A funding partner, not this list, decides what is available in Georgia.
The first pages of a Dallas file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Dallas that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic, home health.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (123) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (55) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Home health (28) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
The first column is Dallas's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Dallas or anywhere else.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Dallas
Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA lies 26 miles from Dallas, close enough for rent comparables to travel and far enough that patient draw does not. At $73,387 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. Referral flow comes from outside Dallas, which a projection needs to state plainly. Dallas is the Paulding County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.

Questions from Dallas
01How many providers practice in Dallas, and in what?
399 enumerations sit at Dallas addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 264.9 for every 10,000 residents. 31 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and chiropractic follows with 55. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 399 here cover fewer than 399 practices.
02Why does Paulding County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 3 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Paulding County. That tracks how few Paulding County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 42 credit intermediation establishments operate in Paulding County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03Is Dallas underwritten as part of Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA?
Comparables and demand split at 26 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA; the revenue line has to hold up against 15,062 local residents.
04What does Paulding County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Paulding County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
05Which fields carry the volume in Dallas?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 123 providers and chiropractic at 55 lead the 29 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Dallas?
The town carries 5 Medicare-certified providers. On a receivables request that number sets the expected collection lag, which is priced before anything about the practice itself is read.
