In 2009 only 1 out of 5 banks opened new branches in underserved minority communities

In a December 2009 FDIC study of 685 banks only 18% had established new branches in low-income areas.  In other words, providing banks in underserved minority communities was not a priority for 82% of the major banking corporations.
