Milwaukee County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 18 healthcare approvals in Milwaukee County, $12,388,900 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 18 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Approved dollars | $12,388,900 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Average approval | $688,272 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 443 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [5] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 41.3 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Milwaukee County already carries $12,388,900 across 18 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $154,255 in Whitefish Bay is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
