A recent data study was released this week by Upgraded Points, which analyzed data from the NCUA and FDIC and ranked states according to the share of households that rely on brick-and-mortar for their banking services. Per the report, Oregon was ranked #1 overall with a total of 88% of households relying on brick-and-mortar. In addition, Arizona, Idaho and Colorado all ranked in the top one-fourth of all states where people still rely on brick-and-mortar.
