The lending record behind Rochester Hills
The published file shows 53 healthcare approvals in Oakland County, $30,622,600 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 53 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $30,622,600 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Typical approval size | $577,785 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 814 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 127.9 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 53 prior Oakland County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $119,054 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
