Loan activity in Muskegon County
With 1 healthcare approvals recorded, Muskegon County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 1 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $622,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $622,000 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 80 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 190.7 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. Muskegon County has 1 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. With $46,342 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Muskegon households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Muskegon
Muskegon-Norton Shores, MI lies 0 miles from Muskegon, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Muskegon-Norton Shores, MI rents while 37,287 residents set the revenue ceiling. At $46,342 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first.

Muskegon owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Muskegon, and in what?
NPPES lists 711 providers at a Muskegon practice address, 190.7 per 10,000 residents across 31 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 136 of them, 19 percent of the total, with specialty physician groups next at 107. Read that as clinicians: 711 enumerations, not 711 owners.
02Which fields carry the volume in Muskegon?
The 31 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 136, with specialty physician groups at 107 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
03What does Muskegon County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Muskegon County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Muskegon and evidences a staffing ramp in a 37,287 resident market.
04Why does Muskegon County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 1 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Muskegon County. That tracks how few Muskegon County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 80 credit intermediation establishments operate in Muskegon County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
05How does the hospital in Muskegon affect a practice file?
It makes the staffing and referral lines checkable. 8 Medicare-certified providers hold Muskegon addresses, and the hospital sets the wage a clinical hire is bid against in a 190.7 per 10,000 market.
06Is there local lending capacity in Muskegon County?
County Business Patterns records 80 credit intermediation establishments in Muskegon County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Muskegon rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
