An interactive map of every loan the SBA approved under the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP Loans) during COVID — 11.8M loans, ~$800B. Best viewed on your desktop.
Posted an earlier version of this a year ago
(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42969334) and got a lot of
useful feedback. This is a rewrite focused on the biggest complaint
from that version: you used to have to type in a ZIP code to see
anything, which made the dataset feel like a lookup tool instead of
something you could explore.
The map is the primary surface now. Pan and zoom and the data loads
under you — clustered pins at low zoom, individual loans as you zoom
in. Search works for ZIP, business name, and state; NAICS code, loan
amount, year, and forgiveness status are filters on top of whatever
you're looking at.
