Bank Deserts
Bank Deserts – What are they?
9
• Geographical gaps with inadequate banking services
• Especially vulnerable are low-income residents and elderly.
• Derived from the notion of “food deserts” or areas “without access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food” – USDA, n.d.
• Small towns and inner-city neighborhoods are losing their access to financial services.
• Lack of depository institutions may force residents to pay higher prices for lower-quality products
• Zip codes that contain no or a limited number of bank branches as a proportion of the population
• Analyses separates urban and rural areas (population cut off of 5,000 for rural areas)
