Lincoln County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
With 1 healthcare approvals recorded, Lincoln County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 1 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Approved dollars | $215,000 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Average approval | $215,000 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 24 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 118.3 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. With 1 approvals on record in Lincoln County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $75,777 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Troy households actually spend.
Programs the Troy mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
The order comes from Troy's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 33 percent. What a partner can actually place in Missouri is a separate question.
The first pages of a Troy file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic, primary care and family medicine
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (58) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (32) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Primary care and family medicine (15) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Column one counts Troy clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Troy file differently.

| Market | Population | Clinicians | Density per 10,000 | Distance in miles |

| Troy (current) | 14,963 | 177 | 118.3 | |
| Wentzville | 48,646 | 405 | 83.3 | 12 |

How Troy sits against the nearest metro
Distance to St. Louis, MO-IL is 45 miles. That is close enough for rent in Troy to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. Households here carry $75,777 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. Because a certified hospital sits inside the town, both the referral path and the pay a clinical hire expects are already observable. Troy is the Lincoln County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.

Troy owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Troy, and in what?
Across 21 fields, Troy carries 177 enumerated clinicians, 118.3 per 10,000 of the 14,963 people living here. The concentration is in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 58 of the total, then chiropractic at 32. Count practices from that only with care.
02Why does Lincoln County show so little SBA activity?
Lincoln County shows 1 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 24 lending establishments operate locally.
03What does Lincoln County's shortage designation change?
Lincoln County holds a HRSA designation covering primary care, dental, mental health. A pro forma for Troy can cite it as the reason a vacancy is fillable, which is usually the weakest line in a ramp schedule.
04How does the hospital in Troy affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 1 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 118.3 per 10,000 market.
05Which fields carry the volume in Troy?
The 21 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 58, with chiropractic at 32 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is Troy underwritten as part of St. Louis, MO-IL?
Partly. St. Louis, MO-IL is 45 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 14,963 residents around Troy. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
