Source: SBA borrower suspensions and pandemic loans, by state (this archive's table, built from SBA news release 26-91 and three earlier state releases, the SBA PPP FOIA loan files of 30 September 2024 and the USASpending COVID EIDL export of 22 June 2026). As of: SBA figures published 6 February to 14 September 2026; table measured 15 September 2026; map built 2026-09-27. Units: suspended borrowers (SBA's count) per 1,000 PPP and COVID EIDL loans (loan files). Borrowers and loans are different units, so the rate is a ratio, not a share. Bins are quintiles of the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. ≈ marks the three states whose borrower figure SBA printed in rounded form. Map: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 cartographic boundary file (cb_2020_us_state_20m), public domain; Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are moved and rescaled.
