Borrowing over time

A new chart shows how the share of students with a federal loan changed since 2008–09, and Explore can sort by the 10-year change.

What's new

  • Over time → Aid: an "Undergrads with a federal loan" chart from 2008–09, with the national middle-50% band. The median college's share fell about 12 points over 10 years.
  • Explore: a "Borrow, then → now" column in the 10-year changes view, and a "Borrowing change" sort. Colleges with fewer than 300 undergraduates are left out.

Fixed

A browser warning in Explore's 10-year changes table, introduced in the previous release.

Behind the scenes

  • The history rebuild only added the new series; nothing else changed.
  • Six colleges (the four service academies and two small colleges) reported 0% years ago and have no current rate, so their lines correctly end early. Every college that reports the newest year must still match its profile exactly.
