Newest Tools
Lois Lane accumulated questions on Check 21, many of which came from the threads. She formed these into a training Q&A and has shared it in the Tools. This is an excellent primer for those not familiar with Check 21 whether they have 20 minutes as a banker or 20 years.
It is that time of year when you've put CRA and HMDA to bed. At least the filing side. Now comes analysis of loan types, demographics, trends, comparisons and more. Len Suzio, with GeoDataVision, has provided BOL with information for Minor Civil Divisions by state and city. If you are looking for the income, income classification by the tracts and HUD's 2005 medium family income amounts in your market, or where you are considering going, this is the data you are looking for.
