Bureau updates lists, web tool, for determining ‘rural or underserved’ areas

Lists of areas determined to be “rural or underserved” and counties determined to be “rural” in 2021 for purposes of applying certain regulatory provisions in 2022 have been updated by the federal consumer financial protection agency, it said Friday.

The Rural and Underserved Areas and Counties lists published on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) website are accompanied by an updated website tool for rural or underserved areas, also for purposes of applying certain regulatory provisions in 2022.

The agency said the lists and website tool help creditors determine the rural or underserved status of a property for purposes of applying certain regulatory provisions related to mortgage loans.
