Lenders based here are those whose main office is in the state; balances are for the whole institution. HMDA and SBA figures count loans placed in the state, whoever made them. Lenders that merged or stopped filing are left out.
Source and date appear beside each figure. Banks report balances, not loans made. Loans made come only from HMDA and SBA files. We do not audit filings and can make errors joining them. Report a problem
Figures come from public records and show the source and date beside them. Public records can be late, incomplete or wrong. A past loan does not mean a lender will make the same kind of loan today. Confirm anything important with the lender.
