The goal of the series is to increase public understanding of the financial conditions and concerns of consumers and communities.

The inaugural issue covers the theme of student loans, and includes articles on the effect that rising student loan debt levels may have on homeownership rates among young adults; and the relationship between the amount of student loan debt and individuals' decisions to live in rural or urban areas.
