How Canton sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Peoria, IL is 26 miles. That is close enough for rent in Canton to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. At $54,881 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. The hospital fixes two inputs a lender would otherwise estimate in a 12,896 resident town: where referrals originate, and what staff cost. A college in Canton puts a term-shaped curve into monthly collections.
