The highest unbanked rates are concentrated in the U.S. South—especially the Southeast and parts of the rural South—and on some Native American tribal lands. State-level hotspots have historically included Mississippi and Louisiana (the highest state rates), followed by places like New Mexico and Arkansas. Large, low‑income urban neighborhoods and certain immigrant communities also show high unbanked rates.
Why: these patterns track poverty, low banking access (bank branches), distrust of banks, immigration/legal-status issues, and limited financial education.
If you want the most recent numbers (state-by-state and metro-area rates), I can pull the latest FDIC “Survey of Household Use of Banking and Financial Services” data and summarize it. Which year would you like?
