TO: The Chief Executive Officer of each
financial institution and others concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District

SUBJECT
Availability of Data on Small Business,
Small Farm, and Community
Development Lending
DETAILS
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has announced the
availability of data on small business, small farm, and community development lending reported
by commercial banks and savings associations subject to the Community Reinvestment Act.
These institutions include independent commercial banks and savings associations with total
assets of $250 million or more and institutions of any size if owned by a holding company with
assets of $1 billion or more.
The FFIEC has distributed aggregate disclosure statements to central depositories
throughout the nation, where they are available for public inspection. Following that distribu­
tion, the FFIEC determined that a reporting error by one institution caused the number of com­
munity development loans as presented in the aggregate table to be overstated materially. Table
5 reflects the correction of this error.

For Immediate Release

Press Release
August 24, 1998

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today announced the availability of data on
small business, small farm, and community development lending reported by commercial banks and savings
associations (including savings banks and savings and loan associations) pursuant to the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA).
As revised in 1995, the regulations that implement the CRA generally require the reporting of data on these
types of lending by independent commercial banks and savings associations having total assets of $250
million or more, and by commercial banks and savings associations of any size if owned by a holding
company having assets of $1 billion or more. Analysis of Call Report data indicates that reporting institutions
account for about two-thirds of the small business loans and one-fifth of the small farm loans extended by all
commercial banks and savings associations.
From the data reported, the FFIEC prepares a disclosure statement, in electronic form, for each reporting
commercial bank and savings association. The FFIEC also prepares an aggregate disclosure statement for
each of the metropolitan statistical areas and each of the nonmetropolitan counties in the United States and
Puerto Rico.
The 1997 data reflect originations and purchases of small business and small farm loans from 1,896
institutions, including 1,421 commercial banks and 475 savings associations. (See attached fact sheet and
related tables.) A total of 2.6 million small business loans, totaling $159 billion, and 213,000 small farm loans,
totaling $11 billion, were reported for 1997. Measured by number of loans, 50 percent of the reported small
business loans and 90 percent of small farm loans were extended to borrowers with revenues of $1 million or
less. For small business loans, this proportion has decreased 6 percentage points from the 56 percent
reported in 1996. The vast majority (about 87 percent, by number of loans) of small business and small farm
loans were for amounts under $100,000. Small business loans are heavily concentrated in central city and
suburban areas, as are both the U.S. population and U.S. businesses. The variation in small business lending
among census tracts grouped into income categories generally parallels the distribution of the population and
businesses among these categories. Reporting institutions that have assets of more than $750 million (594 of
the 1,896 institutions reporting) extend a greater number of small business loans in lower income areas than
do other institutions. Most small farm loans are made in rural areas regardless of income.
For 1997, commercial banks and savings associations reported community development lending that totaled
nearly $19 billion. Compared with small business and small farm lending, the typical community development
loan was relatively large ($745,000).
A community development loan has as its primary purpose affordable housing for low- or moderate-income
individuals, community services targeted to these individuals, activities that promote economic development
by financing small businesses and small farms, and activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or
moderate-income geographies. In general, a community development loan has not been reported for CRA
purposes as a consumer, home-mortgage, small business, or small farm loan (except for a multifamily dwelling
loan reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA)).
The FFIEC has distributed aggregate disclosure statements to central depositories throughout the nation,
where they are available for public inspection. Following that distribution, the FFIEC determined that a
reporting error by one institution caused the number of community development loans as presented in the
aggregate table to be overstated materially. Table 5, attached to this release, reflects the correction of this
error.
An order form for CRA items, with descriptions of the various reports and formats available, is attached to this
release. An order form for other data available from the FFIEC (including data on home mortgage loans,
reported under HMDA), and the location of the central depositories can be found at the FFIEC Web site
(www.ffiec.aov).

Findings from Analysis of Nationwide Summary Statistics
for 1997 Community Reinvestment Act Data
Fact Sheet (August 1998)
The following analyses of nationwide summary statistics are based on data compiled by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC) for institutions reporting pursuant to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).

Background
The CRA is intended to encourage federally insured commercial banks and savings associations to help meet the credit
needs of the local communities in which they are chartered. The 1995 revisions to the CRA regulations require larger
commercial banks and savings associations to report data on their small business, small farm, and community development
lending. The institutions subject to these requirements generally include independent institutions with total assets of $250
million or more, and institutions of any size if owned by a holding company that has assets of $1 billion or more. Analysis of
Call Report data on small business and small farm loans outstanding indicates that lenders reporting under the CRA
account for about two-thirds of the small business loans and one-fifth of the small farm loans extended by all commercial
banks and savings associations. The small business and small farm lending data, when coupled with information reported
about the geographic locations that constitute each reporting institution’s local CRA service area(s), make it possible to
better assess the performance of reporting institutions under the CRA lending test. The small business and small farm lending data reported under the CRA regulations are more limited in scope than data
reported on home lending under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). In particular, the CRA data include information
only on loans originated or purchased, not on applications that are turned down or withdrawn by the customer. Unlike
HMDA data, the CRA data do not include information about applicant income, gender, or racial or ethnic background,
although the CRA data do indicate whether a loan is extended to a borrower having revenues of $1 million or less. Finally
the CRA data are not reported application-by-application, as HMDA data are, but rather are aggregated into three loan-size
categories and then are reported at the census tract level.
CRA data furnish a valuable tool for many different types of analyses. At the same time, the analysis of CRA data poses
challenges-for example, while CRA data provide information on extensions of credit in an area, they do not indicate the
amount or nature of the overall demand for credit there. Accordingly, conclusions drawn from analyses using only CRA data
should be made with caution, as differences in local loan volumes may reflect differences in local demands, among other
things.

General Description of the 1997 CRA Data
As shown in table 1. 1,896 lenders reported data on small business and small farm lending in 1997, including 1,421
commercial banks and 475 savings associations. Most of the reporting institutions (75 percent) had assets under $1 billion,
including 22 percent that had assets under $250 million (derived from table 3). (As indicated above, independent institutions
with assets under $250 million are not required to report these data.) Compared with 1996 (the first year the data were
reported), the number of reporters is down about 10 percent.
A total of 2,560,795 small business loans, totaling $159 billion, and 212,822 small farm loans, totaling $11.2 billion, were
reported for 1997. Reported loans include both originations during 1997 and purchases of loans during the year. Unlike
mortgage lending, a well-developed secondary market for small business loans does not exist, and the CRA data reflect
this. - Most reported small business and small farm loans were originations; only about 2 percent of small business loans
and less than 1 percent of small farm loans were reported as purchases from another institution (derived from table 2).
The CRA data provide information about the size of small business and small farm loans. In the case of small business
loans, the maximum loan size reported is $1 million; for small farm loans the maximum is $500,000. The average small
business loan was for about $62,000, and the average small farm loan was for about $53,000 (derived from table 2).
Measured by number of loans, 87 percent of the small business loans and 86 percent of the small farm loans were for
amounts under $100,000 (table 2). Measured by dollars the distribution differs: only 29 percent of the small business loans
and 42 percent of the small farm loans fell in the under-$100,000 loan size category.

The CRA data also include information on how many of the reported loans were extended to borrowers having gross annual
revenues of $1 million or less. Such borrowers fall within generally accepted definitions of a small business, although many
somewhat larger borrowers also are often categorized as being a small business or small farm. For 1997, 50 percent of the
reported small business loans and 90 percent of the small farm loans (measured by number of loans) were extended to
borrowers having revenues of $1 million or less. The data show that, on average, loans to borrowers having revenues under
$1 million are smaller than loans to larger borrowers. For example, the average small business loan to these small
borrowers is about $52,000, while the average loan amount to larger borrowers is $72,000 (derived from table 2).
The vast majority of the reported loans (about 97 percent measured by number of loans) were either originated or
purchased by commercial banks (data not shown in tables). This preponderance of commercial banks in small business
lending is consistent with data provided by other sources, including the 1987 and 1993 National Surveys of Small Business
Finances, which show that commercial banks are the preponderant source of credit for small businesses.Although a minority in number, larger commercial banks and savings associations (those with assets of $1 billion or more)
originated or purchased about three-quarters of the small business loans (table 3). No significant differences between
commercial banks and savings associations were observed in this regard, as larger institutions did the majority of small
business lending within their institutional categories. The overall pattern differs for small farm loans, where larger institutions
accounted for about half of the loans.

The Geographic Distribution of Small Business and Small Farm Lending
The availability of information about the geographic location of businesses and farms receiving credit provides an
opportunity to examine the distribution of small business and small farm lending across areas grouped by their
socio-demographic and economic characteristics. Because the CRA data do not include the lending of all commercial banks
and savings associations, the data do not fully represent all small business and small farm lending by these types of
institutions. Nonetheless, reporting institutions account for a significant portion of small business lending. CRA performance
assessments generally include an analysis of the distribution of small business and small farms loans (of all types) across
census tracts grouped into four neighborhood income categories: low, moderate, middle, and upper income. - Overall, the
distribution of the number and the dollar amounts of small business loans across these categories parallels the distribution
of population and businesses across these four income groups (tables 4J. and 4J>). For example, low-income areas include
about 4.9 percent of the population and 5.6 percent of the businesses and received 4.6 percent of the number and 5.4
percent of the total dollar amount of originated small business loans. Some differences are observed in areas with higher
incomes, but the total amount of lending to middle- and upper-income neighborhoods nearly equals their share of the
population. These relationships mirror those observed in the 1996 data.
Small business loans are heavily concentrated in central city and suburban areas (about 81 percent of all small business
loans), as are the bulk of the U.S. population and businesses. In contrast, most small farm loans are in rural areas (about 70
percent, tables 4^3 and 4 A). In lower-income areas, most small business loans occur in central city census tracts; in
higher-income areas, more small business loans are in suburban areas. This income-urbanization pattern is not generally
observed for small farm loans, however. Most small farm loans are made in rural areas regardless of income.

Community Development Lending
In addition to information about small business and small farm lending, institutions covered by the CRA data reporting
requirements also disclose the number and dollar amount of their community development lending. For 1997, 24,913
community development loans totaling $18.6 billion were reported (table 5). On average, community development loans are
larger ($745,000) than the typical small business loan ($62,000) reported in the CRA data. Large lenders extended the bulk
of community development loans measured by dollars, rather than by the number of loans (table 5).
A community development loan has as its primary purpose affordable housing for low- or moderate-income individuals,
community services targeted to these individuals, activities that promote economic development by financing small
businesses and small farms, and activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or moderate-income geographies. In general, a
community development loan has not been reported for CRA purposes as a consumer, home-mortgage, small business, or
small farm loan (except for a multifamily dwelling loan reported under HMDA).

4. In general, for purposes of the regulations, a low-income census tract has a median family income less than 50 percent of the median family income of the surrounding
m e t r o p o l i t a n statistical area (MSA) or, if the census tract is located outside an MSA, the nonmetropolitan portions of the state; a moderate income tract, 50 percent to less
than 80 percent; a middle income tract, 80 percent to less than 120 percent; and an upper income tract, 120 percent or more.

CRA DATA ORDER FORM
ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

•

Unless otherwise specified, reports using CRA data are available beginning with 1996. CRA data generally become available by
August of the year following the reporting year, and data through calendar year 1997 are now available. Please refer to the CRA
Assistance Line at (202) 872-7584, email at CRAHELP@FRB.GOV, or Internet at www.ffiec.gov/cra for the latest release of these
reports.

•

There is an additional charge for each year, MSA/non-MSA, and/or institution requested.

•

Charges for duplicate requests apply.

Aggregate Report: The Aggregate Reports are available for either MSAs or statewide non-MSA areas, and are distributed on hardcopy
at a cost of $10 for each MSA/non-MSA/year requested.(Item #403) For an electronic version, seeltem #401 below. This report
aggregates the business and farm lending information reported within an MSA or statewide non-MSA area. For MSA reports, enter the
MSA number for each MSA desired in the space provided.
For statewide Non-MSA areas, enter the name of the state in the space provided. The statewide non-MSA area aggregate report is
unique to CRA; it does not have a HMDA counterpart. This report aggregates the data for all counties in a selected state that are not
part of an MSA. For example, Nebraska has three counties that are part of two MSAs: Lincoln and Omaha. Data for the other eightysix counties in Nebraska are shown in the statewide non-MSA aggregate report for Nebraska.
Disclosure Statement: The Disclosure Statement summarizes business and farm lending information from data that are prepared yearly
by individual institutions. The Disclosure Statement is available in hardcopy at a cost of $10.00 for each institution/year requeste((Itein
#402)
Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements on CD-ROM: The Aggregate Reports (by MSA and Non-MSA areas) and individual
institution Disclosure Statements are available on CD-ROM at a cost of $10.00 for the entire nation(Item #401) The CRA Aggregate
and Disclosure Software allows you to access reports at the MSA, state, county, and institution (for disclosures only) level, prints reports,
and/or exports the data for selected reports. Beginning with 1997, the three flat files described in the “1996 Export Data on CD-ROM”
(Item #404) below are included on the Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements CD-ROM at no additional cost.
1996 Export Data on CD-ROM: The CD-ROM contains three flat files, which in combination, represent all the 1996 CRA Aggregate &
Disclosure report data. This CD is best used for analyzing large portions of the CRA data. Detailed information regarding each of the
three files is as follows:
1)

TS.DAT contains all the transmittal sheet information for the CRA reporting institutions. (The information on this file is viewable
but not exportable from the Aggregate & Disclosure CD.)

2) AGGR_ALL.DAT contains all the MSA Aggregate report data.
3) DISC_ALL.DAT contains all the individual Disclosure Statement report data.
The Transmittal Sheet file (TS.DAT) and CRA data files (AGGR_ALL.DAT and DISC_ALL.DAT) are ASCII files with fixed record
lengths. NOTE: The file specifications for each of the individual Aggregate & Disclosure tables have been included in a write file on the
CD-ROM. The CD-ROM (for 1996 only) is available at a cost of $10.00. (Item #404)
