Oakland County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
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 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $30,622,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Typical approval size | $577,785 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 814 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
44.0 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 53 approvals worth $30,622,600 in Oakland County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. A $68,319 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
The programs this provider mix points at

Underwriting by field in Wixom
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, dme and hme suppliers, chiropractic
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (18) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| DME and HME suppliers (10) | Accreditation and surety bond status, Rental versus sale revenue split, Denial rate and documentation quality | Inventory and rental fleet |
| Chiropractic (10) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
Column one counts Wixom clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Wixom file differently.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Wixom
Ann Arbor, MI lies 20 miles from Wixom, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Ann Arbor, MI rents while 17,486 residents set the revenue ceiling. Households here carry $68,319 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. With no hospital in town, a projection has to name where referrals and coverage come from.

Wixom owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Wixom, and in what?
Across 17 fields, Wixom carries 77 enumerated clinicians, 44.0 per 10,000 of the 17,486 people living here. The concentration is in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 18 of the total, then dme and hme suppliers at 10. Count practices from that only with care.
02What does SBA lending look like around Wixom?
Healthcare borrowers in Oakland County took 53 approvals worth $30,622,600 in the published fiscal year, averaging $577,785. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Wixom reaches for first.
03What does Oakland County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Oakland County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 17,486 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
04Is Wixom underwritten as part of Ann Arbor, MI?
Partly. Ann Arbor, MI is 20 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 17,486 residents around Wixom. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05Which fields carry the volume in Wixom?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 18 providers and dme and hme suppliers at 10 lead the 17 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
06Is there local lending capacity in Oakland County?
County Business Patterns records 814 credit intermediation establishments in Oakland County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Wixom rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
