PPP Loans By State

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was implemented in all 50 states, and the amount of PPP loans distributed varied by state. According to data from the SBA, California, Texas, and Florida were the top three states in terms of total PPP loan dollars distributed, with California receiving over $62 billion, Texas receiving over $47 billion, and Florida receiving over $30 billion.

Other states with a high amount of PPP loans distributed include New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. These states all received over $20 billion in PPP loans.

In terms of the number of loans distributed, California, Texas, and Florida again ranked in the top three, with California having over 800,000 loans, Texas having over 600,000 loans, and Florida having over 400,000 loans. Other states with a high number of PPP loans include New York, Illinois, and Ohio.

It's also worth noting that small business owners in low-income communities and underrepresented communities, particularly those owned by women, veterans, and people of color, faced significant challenges in accessing PPP loans. They had less access to the necessary resources and networks to apply for the loan and were disproportionately less likely to have relationships with lenders.

The PPP loan program has now ended, but it played a vital role in helping small businesses and their employees during the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. However, it's important to note that the program was not perfect, and there have been calls for changes and improvements for any future programs of this nature.
