With the recent Great Recession, and the bailout of Wall Street, there has been a movement to take money that we deposited in large institutions and instead place them in small banks. The New York Times has published an infographic showing where big banks dominate the country, and where smaller banks are more prevalent. By their definition, small banks have less than $65 billion in assets, whereas large banks have more the $65 billion in assets.

Despite the power of big banks, small institutions still dominate huge swaths of the country and hold nearly half of bank deposits overall.
