The demise of community banks? local economic shocks aren't to blame
Yeager, Timothy J. (2002)
A potentially troubling characteristic of the U.S. banking industry is the geographic concentration of many community banks* offices and operations.

In addition, geographic diversification should help banks reduce risk significantly.

The Impact of the Small Business Lending Fund on Community Bank Lending to Small Businesses
Amel, Dean F.; Mach, Traci L. (2014-12-10)
Following the financial crisis, total outstanding loans to businesses by commercial banks dropped off substantially. Large loans outstanding began to rebound by the third quarter of 2010 and essentially returned to their previous growth trajectory while small loans outstanding continued to decline. Furthermore, much of the drop in small business loans outstanding was evident at community banks. To address this perceived lack of supply of credit to small businesses, the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) was created as part of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act. The fund was intended to provide ...
