This includes the TLR for all CDFIs and CLR for CDFI banks and credit unions. The TLR release includes a total of 60 variables and 246,684 observations detailing financing activities of the CDFIs. The CLR release includes a total of 11 variables and 123,151 observations detailing consumer lending activities.
