Farmers State Bank of Alto Pass, ILL makes small loans, typically $105,000, and placed 27.7% of them in low- and moderate-income areas, more than about three-quarters of similar lenders, while its volume held flat in a rising market.
A small-loan lender
Its typical loan of $105,000 is smaller than about nine in ten similar lenders (state non-member banks making between half and twice as many loans), whose typical loan is $175,000. It made no jumbo loans. Manufactured homes, 9.9% of its loans against 2.8%, and lower-cost rural housing may account for it.
LMI areas well above peers
Of its loans, 27.7% were in LMI (low- and moderate-income) neighbourhoods, against 17.5% for peers, and up from 8.3% five years before. Its share to LMI borrowers, 24.2%, is a little below the 28.1% of peers, which may reflect who lives in the areas it serves rather than any choice of borrower.
Flat while the market grew
It made 151 loans against 153 a year earlier, down 1%, while similar lenders rose 10% and the whole market 10%; its growth was lower than about seven in ten peers. Its rural markets may have grown more slowly than the market as a whole. Volume is far below the 480 of 2020, and has stayed between 151 and 190 since 2022.
Rooted in non-metro Illinois
It ranks 41 of 572 lenders in non-metro Illinois, where it has reported since 2006. Its 1.3% share in majority-minority areas, against 5.1% for peers, may reflect how few such areas its rural market contains.
