Abstract: Access to readily available capital can help rural small businesses succeed. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) encourages financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of low-income residents and smaller firms. Between 2000 and 2015, small business loan amounts per capita in rural counties lagged behind urban counties.
