The Community Lending Data Portal presents 2020 home and business lending, foreclosure trends & demographics for Chicago-area communities, counties, and cities.

To view 2021 data, download the 2021 Community Lending Fact Book here. Please also watch this space for a new and improved Community Lending Data Portal experience!

The upcoming 2022 Community Lending Fact Book, to be published this fall, will be the final hard copy and PDF publications of our community lending data. Moving forward, all of the data previously contained in these fact books will be fully and solely accessible via our Community Lending Data Portal. Previous fact books will still be available for download.

About the Portal

We first started to share local financial health data in our Community Lending Fact Books beginning in 1986.

The data portal continues our mission to analyze and share data on access to loans and financial opportunity in the Chicago area. It offers an added advantage: the portal lets users drill down to your own community area, town, or county. You can also view regional and metro lending information.

For more information including downloadable print versions of the Fact Book, background information and a list of our sponsors, please visit our Community Lending Fact Book page.

If you prefer a printed copy, please contact Beverly Berryhill by email and we will mail you a copy of the current edition (while supplies last).
