Notice 99-74

TO: The Chief Executive Officer of each
financial institution and others concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SUBJECT
1999 FFIEC Census Data CD-ROM
DETAILS
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has announced the
release of a new CD-ROM software product, the 1999 FFIEC Census Data CD-ROM. It is
designed to help banks and thrifts comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and the
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA).
This product includes census demographic information that the FFIEC uses to compile and release the CRA and HMDA Aggregate and Disclosure reports. It is the same database
that previously was available only on mainframe magnetic tape. Included on the CD-ROM is
income, population, and housing information for every census tract and block numbering area in
the United States. In addition to a database that purchasers can use to analyze the data, this
software includes the ability to subset the data by state, metropolitan statistical area (MSA), or
county and then view, print, and/or export the data.
The CD-ROM costs $10, and the FFIEC will update it annually to reflect changes to
MSA boundaries and income estimates developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. To order a copy, choose item #303 on the CRA/HMDA order form, which can be
printed from the HMDA web site at the following address:
