What Wayne County credit files already show
Lenders in Wayne County have already closed 38 healthcare approvals, averaging $363,853, which is the size a new file gets read beside
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 38 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $13,826,400 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Typical approval size | $363,853 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 637 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 134.5 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 $64,635 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Southgate households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Southgate does not appear. Availability is still a Michigan question.
What a funder reads first in Southgate
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, behavioral and mental health group practices, specialty physician groups
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (81) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (52) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |
| Specialty physician groups (40) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
The first column is Southgate's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Southgate or anywhere else.

What the geography does to a Southgate projection
Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI lies 13 miles from Southgate, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI rents while 29,081 residents set the revenue ceiling. At $64,635 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed. Campus terms, not calendar quarters, set the busy months in Southgate.

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 81 of them, 21 percent of the total, with behavioral and mental health group practices next at 52. Read that as clinicians: 391 enumerations, not 391 owners.
02What does SBA lending look like around Southgate?
$13,826,400 went to healthcare borrowers in Wayne County across 38 approvals, $363,853 on average. Deals near Southgate get sized against that record before anything else.
03What does Wayne County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Wayne County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 29,081 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
04Which fields carry the volume in Southgate?
The 26 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 81, with behavioral and mental health group practices at 52 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
05What does a $64,635 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Southgate runs $64,635. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
06Is Southgate underwritten as part of Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI?
Comparables and demand split at 13 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI; the revenue line has to hold up against 29,081 local residents.
