The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI
Fund) released today twelve years of data provided by Community Development
Financial Institutions (CDFIs) through its data collection system, known as the
Community Investment Impact System (CIIS). The data collected covers fiscal
years (FY) 2003 through 2014.
The release contains Institution Level Report (ILR) data on 777
CDFIs that have reported to CIIS. In general, these CDFIs have provided
information on their operation, financial status, and impact in their
communities. A previous data release in 2015 consisted of ILR data on 728 CDFIs
that had reported to CIIS from FY 2003 through 2013.
Additionally, the CDFI Fund also released Transaction Level
Report (TLR) data to the public detailing how CDFIs provide loans and
investments in low-income communities.
The data file includes the features and location of over 400,000
individual loans and investments totaling more than $29 billion made by 401
CDFIs. A previous data release in 2015
consisted of TLR data on 370 CDFIs that had reported to CIIS from FY 2003
through 2013.
Data Background
As part of compliance requirements, award recipients under
the Community Development Financial Institutions Program (CDFI Program) are required
to submit information through CIIS within six months after the close of their
fiscal year. This includes the Institution Level Report (ILR) and the
Transaction Level Report (TLR). The ILR release includes a total of 203
variables and 3,386 observations describing CDFIs’ profiles such as the demographic
and geographic areas that a CDFI had served, staffing levels, financial status,
and services and training provided.
The TLR release includes a total of 50 variables and 419,537
observations detailing CDFIs’ financing activities in an area, including loan
or investment structure and location.
Documentation of the data is provided in several reports detailing the
CIIS CDFI Program data. All ILR and TLR data released to the public are masked
to protect the identity of individual CDFIs.
The CDFI Fund’s summary presentation is available below. The
full data release can be viewed on the CDFI Fund’s website at www.cdfifund.gov/research.
