Chicago Fed Loans to Individuals (in billions)
This chart tracks the growth of loans to individuals at U.S. banks from 1966 to 2008, using data from the FDIC. The visualization is built with d3.v3 and renders as an SVG line chart, plotting the “individualloans” column from the provided CSV file (in billions of dollars). The line shows a general upward trend from roughly $3 billion in the mid-1960s to a peak near $27 billion in 2002, followed by a decline into the late 2000s. A secondary line or annotation could be inferred from the "fake" column, but the primary focus is the clear, unadorned time series of loan values, with axis labels and gridlines supporting direct comparison across decades. The chart uses a simple, clean SVG design typical of D3.v3 examples, with the data sourced from a gist by Abechtel.
