What Geodatavision does

GeoDataVision is a privately held, founder-owned consulting firm founded in 1994 by Len Suzio and headquartered at 61 N. Plains Industrial Road, Wallingford, Connecticut. The firm provides CRA (Community Reinvestment Act), HMDA (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act), and Fair Lending compliance services, mapping products, and data analytics to U.S. community and mid-size banks, with an emerging footprint in mortgage-company compliance under state-level rules such as NY Section 120 and the NY State CRA rule. Its core technology is a proprietary GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping platform combined with relational database techniques that correlate census-tract-level demographic and income data with bank loan and deposit data, enabling assessment area delineation, REMA construction, "hot market" identification, and geographic distribution analysis used by community banks in CRA performance evaluations. Lead consultants Len Suzio (CRA) and Steve Day (Fair Lending) bring more than three decades each of bank advisory experience, prior in-bank operating roles, Congressional testimony, and recurring keynote presence at ABA and ACB national compliance conferences.

The product and service portfolio is organized into three pillars. Mapping products include CRA Assessment Area Maps, Loan Distribution Maps, Market Data Maps, Census Tract Street Maps, Demographic Maps, Zip Code Maps, Deposit Maps, Branch Closing Analysis Maps, Climate Risk Maps, and a Climate Risk Meter, delivered through live interactive mapping sessions and custom interactive maps. CRA services encompass Performance Evaluation Reports, Assessment Area Reviews, Key Performance Benchmark Reports (peer-filterable by asset size and product mix), CRA Program Templates, Data Scrubs, Geocoding, and Process and Procedures Reviews. Fair Lending services include HMDA Mortgage Market Reports, Fair Lending Risk Analysis Reports (using two-factor statistical analysis with 5% significance testing), Minority Market Reports, and consulting/training. Supporting assets include Community Needs Assessments, Branch Closing Analysis Reports, CRA/HMDA Data Entry Guides, the CRA Census Tract Reference Books, 2022 Census Tract Downloads, the 2022 Majority-Minority Census Tract Map, a paid CRA training webinar series ($250/webinar or $500 for a 3-webinar bundle, approved for ABA and ICB continuing-education credits), the members-only CRA and Fair Lending Compliance Resource Center, and The Compliance 911 Show (a 100+ episode webinar/podcast co-hosted with M&M Consulting).

GeoDataVision monetizes through four streams: fee-based consulting and training engagements priced on a quote basis under multi-year contracts; one-time purchases of custom market and demographic reports and maps; recurring paid membership to the Compliance Resource Center (annual billing, pricing tier undisclosed); and paid training webinars. Free lead-generation assets (2024 Community Development Reports, Small Business Market Rank & Share Reports limited to 3 states per request, free interactive census tract and MSA maps) are offered in exchange for contact details to seed the sales pipeline. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven, anchored by named senior advisors, supported by thought leadership content (an extensive blog, JD Supra syndication, The Compliance 911 Show), and reinforced through speaking at ABA, ACB, and state compliance meetings. Customer scale signals include 700+ lifetime clients and 3,000+ completed projects across the firm's 30-year operating history, with multiple documented multi-decade client relationships.
