Examining Small Business Lending Data by Mid-sized and Larger Banks

Mid-sized and larger banks play a vital role in local communities, especially as providers of credit to small businesses. The following maps examine small business lending data, in which the color shading of a metropolitan or micropolitan area indicates the share of an area’s small business loans originated (or deposits held) by banks belonging to a specified size category.

A full set of descriptive maps, along with an interactive tool for toggling between maps to facilitate pairwise comparisons, can be found below.
