Several of the 66 optometry and ophthalmology enumerations can belong to one practice, so the column counts clinicians rather than businesses or owners
Washington County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 11 healthcare approvals in Washington County, $2,384,800 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 11 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Approved dollars | $2,384,800 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Average approval | $216,800 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 279 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
Density of 75.7 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Washington County already carries $2,384,800 across 11 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. A $81,998 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
