To provide further insight into the breakdown of state and local CDFIs in the Southeast, Map 2 displays the number of respondent CDFIs that have multi-state or single state service areas and Map 3 displays the number of respondent CDFIs that have multi-county, single county, multi-city, single city, multi-census tract or single census tract service areas. The number of state CDFIs ranges from two in Arkansas and Kentucky to 12 in Virginia. There is a relatively high concentration of state respondent CDFIs that jointly serve the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, with eight CDFIs (12.3 percent of the respondent CDFIs that operate at the state level) indicating activity in this geographic area.
The number of local CDFIs operating in counties throughout the Southeast ranges from zero to 11. Most counties in Arkansas, Alabama and Maryland have either no local respondent CDFIs operating in the county or just one local CDFI in operation. Louisiana has a relatively large number of local CDFIs, with each county in Louisiana having eight to 11 local CDFIs that operate in the area. On average, there are four local CDFIs operating in Southeast counties.
