Wayne County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
38 healthcare approvals averaging $363,853 set the deal shape lenders in Wayne County have already underwritten
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 38 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $13,826,400 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $363,853 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 637 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 40.6 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Wayne County already carries $13,826,400 across 38 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $72,235 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Romulus households actually spend.
Programs the Romulus mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Medical receivables factoring
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Weighted by how often each of the 20 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Michigan rules and the partner decide availability.
What a funder reads first in Romulus
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, home health, urgent care
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (24) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Home health (10) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
| Urgent care (9) | Visits per day against the site model, Payer mix and contracted rates, Credentialing status at open | De novo center build |
The first column is Romulus's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Romulus or anywhere else.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Romulus
Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI lies 17 miles from Romulus, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI rents while 24,652 residents set the revenue ceiling. Households here carry $72,235 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed.
