Loan activity in Alamance County
With 4 healthcare approvals recorded, Alamance County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 4 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $2,574,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $643,500 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 76 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
65.8 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. A short county record of 4 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. With $84,312 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Mebane households actually spend.
Programs the Mebane mix reaches for

Burlington, NC lies 11 miles from Mebane, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Burlington, NC rents while 20,654 residents set the revenue ceiling.

What owners in Mebane ask
01How many providers practice in Mebane, and in what?
Across 22 fields, Mebane carries 136 enumerated clinicians, 65.8 per 10,000 of the 20,654 people living here. The concentration is in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 33 of the total, then general dentistry at 20. Count practices from that only with care.
02Why does Alamance County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 4 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Alamance County. That tracks how few Alamance County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 76 credit intermediation establishments operate in Alamance County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03Is Mebane underwritten as part of Burlington, NC?
Partly. Burlington, NC is 11 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 20,654 residents around Mebane. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does Alamance County's shortage designation change?
Alamance County holds a HRSA designation covering primary care, dental, mental health. A pro forma for Mebane can cite it as the reason a vacancy is fillable, which is usually the weakest line in a ramp schedule.
05How does the college here show up in the numbers?
Higher education here shapes the calendar more than the population figure suggests. The 20,654 resident count understates term-time demand and overstates it in July, and a lender that sees both months wants the reason.
06Which fields carry the volume in Mebane?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 33 providers and general dentistry at 20 lead the 22 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.
