The lending record behind Marion
With 0 healthcare approvals recorded, Marion County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 0 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Approved dollars | $0 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Average approval | No approvals recorded | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 32 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision

Marion County has 0 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. A $45,829 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.

At $45,829 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. Hospital coverage inside Marion means a call schedule can be evidenced rather than described. Campus terms, not calendar quarters, set the busy months in Marion.

02What does Marion County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Marion County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
03Why does Marion County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 0 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Marion County. That tracks how few Marion County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 32 credit intermediation establishments operate in Marion County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
04How does the hospital in Marion affect a practice file?
It makes the staffing and referral lines checkable. 3 Medicare-certified providers hold Marion addresses, and the hospital sets the wage a clinical hire is bid against in a 111.9 per 10,000 market.
05Which fields carry the volume in Marion?
The 31 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 82, with specialty physician groups at 53 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is Marion underwritten as part of Mansfield, OH?
Mansfield, OH sits 33 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Mansfield, OH; the 35,576 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
