The Division of Risk Management Supervision monitors how frequently its examiners travel to field offices for on-site reviews. Understanding these patterns helps allocate resources, schedule inspections, and anticipate staffing needs. The data below reflects the average percent of travel recorded for the years 2024 and 2025, broken down by each regional office location.
Southeast region travel patterns
In the Southeast, the highest mobility appears in Hurricane, WV and Montgomery, AL each reporting a travel share of 45 %. Atlanta, GA follows closely with 43 %, while Albany, GA and Charlotte, NC both sit at 31 %. Other notable figures include Columbia, SC at 32 %, Deerfield Beach, FL at 31 %, and Hoover, AL lagging at 22 %. The capital of Virginia, Richmond, reaches 40 %, and Tampa, FL matches the 31 % average of many coastal offices.
These numbers suggest that examiners stationed in the heart of the Southeast are frequently on the move, especially those based in border states like West Virginia and Alabama, where regional coordination often requires cross-state travel. The comparatively lower figure for Hoover, AL may reflect a more localized workload or proximity to other active offices.
Midwest and Great Lakes examiner movements
The Midwest shows a mixed picture. Chicago-area offices such as Appleton, WI (29 %) and Brookfield, WI (27 %) illustrate moderate travel frequencies. Smaller hubs like Champaign, IL (23 %) and Columbus, OH (18 %) record lower percentages, while Eau Claire, WI (27 %) and Indianapolis, IN (27 %) hover around the mid-range. Lexington, KY and Louisville, KY sit at 25 % and 23 % respectively, indicating a steady flow of on-site activities across Kentucky.
Wisconsin and Illinois offices tend to cluster around the high-20s, reflecting a balanced approach between remote reviews and field visits. Notably, Mount Vernon, IL (33 %) and Princeton, IL (32 %) exceed the regional average, hinting at specialized projects or a higher concentration of high-risk entities in those locales.
Southwest and central corridor travel
Travel intensity spikes in several Texas and surrounding state offices. Austin, TX leads with 36 %, while Dallas, TX posts 29 % and Houston, TX 31 %. Oklahoma City, OK and Little Rock, AR each sit near the low-30s (25 % and 32 %). In the broader central corridor, Denver, CO records 25 %, and Kansas City-area offices vary from Cedar Rapids, IA (21 %) to Kansas City, MO (21 %).
Albuquerque, NM (32 %) and Lubbock, TX (33 %) illustrate that even in less-populated areas, examiners maintain a solid travel cadence. The data also reveals a modest 26 % travel share for Salt Lake City, UT, suggesting a more consolidated inspection schedule in the Mountain West.
Northeast and West Coast office travel
The Northeast shows a wide spread. New York City, NY records the lowest travel share at 12 %, while nearby Syracuse, NY jumps to 34 % and Talleyville, DE reaches 37 %. Boston-area offices like Braintree, MA (16 %) and Lexington, MA (16 %) sit near the bottom, whereas Bedford, NH (29 %) and Windsor, CT (25 %) sit slightly higher.
Out west, the West Coast maintains robust mobility. San Francisco, CA logs 33 % travel, matching the 33 % seen in Roseville, CA and the 30 % figure for Mesa, AZ. Seattle, WA (25 %) and Portland, OR (29 %) round out the Pacific Northwest, while San Juan, PR (24 %) adds a Caribbean perspective to the
Coastal and high-risk hubs tend to exhibit higher percentages, whereas some large metropolitan centers, such as New York City, experience lower on-site travel, possibly due to stronger reliance on remote supervisory tools.
