Loan activity in Butler County
7 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 7 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [6] |
| Approved dollars | $1,351,900 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [6] |
| Average approval | $193,129 | Dollars divided by approvals [6] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 178 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [7] |
The consequence of these numbers
The ratio that matters up front is 32.6 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. Butler County has 7 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $103,638 in Monroe is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.

03What does Butler County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Butler County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Monroe and evidences a staffing ramp in a 15,950 resident market.
04Why does Butler County show so little SBA activity?
Only 7 healthcare approvals appear for Butler County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Butler County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 178 credit intermediation establishments.
05Is Monroe underwritten as part of Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN?
Comparables and demand split at 22 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN; the revenue line has to hold up against 15,950 local residents.
06Which fields carry the volume in Monroe?
Volume concentrates in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 9 of them, ahead of home health at 8, across 16 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
