Market snapshot
These figures describe Construction & Real Estate Lending (3.1.3), the segment that Commercial Mortgage Lending sits within — not Commercial Mortgage Lending on its own.
FragmentationFragmentedEstimate
No discrete Census NAICS code — construction and real-estate lending sit within commercial banking (522110) and real-estate credit (522292), so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
