The lending record behind Hagerstown
The county file holds 1 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 1 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $50,000 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $50,000 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 86 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 255.8 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. With 1 approvals on record in Washington County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. Household income of $49,957 in Hagerstown 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

Hagerstown owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Hagerstown, and in what?
1,123 enumerations sit at Hagerstown addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 255.8 for every 10,000 residents. 25 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 125. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 1,123 here cover fewer than 1,123 practices.
02What does Washington County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Washington 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.
03Why does Washington County show so little SBA activity?
Washington County shows 1 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. 86 lending establishments operate locally.
04Which fields carry the volume in Hagerstown?
The 35 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 276, with primary care and family medicine at 125 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
05Is Hagerstown underwritten as part of Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV?
Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV sits 0 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV; the 43,909 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Hagerstown?
Care Compare lists 14 certified providers with a Hagerstown address. That count is a proxy for how much of the local revenue arrives on a federal payment cycle rather than at the front desk.
