Abstract

The Tenth Federal Reserve District consists of many types of markets within which District institutions operate. Since conditions in the District environment can vary from dynamic to slow-growing, these markets offer both challenge and opportunity that financial institutions must understand to be successful. But what is the level of change in the District environment and how might that change be materializing? This article considers the environment within the Tenth District and discernible trends within that environment. We highlight the major factors that influence bank behavior and condition, including demographic, economic and structural conditions and trends. The 2000 census information is used in conjunction with that of prior census surveys to describe where the District is today and from where it has evolved demographically. Economic data, including gross state product information, allows us to report the shifts in industrial focus for various markets and the District as a whole. The article also considers changes in the industry and describes how banking consolidation has evolved within the District. Finally, the article looks at potential future trends, to shed light on emerging environmental factors of which District banks may take into account in their planning process.
