Community banks hold substantial market share, particularly in the Midwestern states.
The top map illustrates by county the percentage of bank offices that are owned by community banks. In almost
30% of all counties nationwide, community banks have the majority of banking locations.
The bottom map illustrates by county the percentage of deposits that are held in offices of community banks. In
28% of all counties, community banks have the majority of commercial bank deposits.
Despite their dominance in more rural areas, over 40% of community bank offices and 46% of deposits are located
in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Large banks, in contrast, have 60% of their offices and 54% of their
deposits in MSAs.
The community focus of smaller banks is evidenced in the smaller number of offices; only 43% of community
banks have 3 or more offices, compared to 90% of large banks.

Lending for the banking industry has declined since the peak at September 2008. Total loans have declined almost
7%, while commercial and industrial (C&I) loans have declined by 20%.
Reductions in lending were not uniform across banks. Almost half of all banks increased their loans outstanding
over this 15-month period. While total loans outstanding dropped in aggregate for the industry, the median change
at all U.S. banks was actually a decrease of 0.26%.

There were also differences in lending across different sizes of banks. A majority of community banks increased
their outstanding loans over this period, while a much smaller number of larger banks reported increases. Only
30% of banks over $10 billion increased outstanding loans.
Changes in loan volume varied widely by loan type. Construction and land development (CLD) outstanding
loans dropped across all sizes of banks, reflecting stressed real estate conditions. For commercial and industrial
(C&I) loans, volume changes were relatively smaller for community banks compared to a decline of 21.5% for
larger banks.
