The lending record behind Blaine
The county file holds 6 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 6 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $2,275,200 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $379,200 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 147 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 52.7 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. With 6 approvals on record in Anoka County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. Household income of $103,382 in Blaine is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Programs the Blaine mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Blaine does not appear. Availability is still a Minnesota question.

Blaine owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Blaine, and in what?
NPPES lists 396 providers at a Blaine practice address, 52.7 per 10,000 residents across 26 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 75 of them, 19 percent of the total, with home health next at 59. Read that as clinicians: 396 enumerations, not 396 owners.
02What does Anoka County's shortage designation change?
Anoka County holds a HRSA designation covering primary care, dental, mental health. A pro forma for Blaine can cite it as the reason a vacancy is fillable, which is usually the weakest line in a ramp schedule.
03Why does Anoka County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 6 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Anoka County. That tracks how few Anoka County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 147 credit intermediation establishments operate in Anoka County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
04Is Blaine underwritten as part of Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI?
Comparables and demand split at 15 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI; the revenue line has to hold up against 75,172 local residents.
05What does a $103,382 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Blaine runs $103,382. 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 there local lending capacity in Anoka County?
County Business Patterns records 147 credit intermediation establishments in Anoka County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Blaine rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
