Bilateral graphs compare two series of trends on a 2 dimensional plot. These graphs are good for depicting the relationship of change in time between two units. This bilateral graph is comparing the percent of assets between long-term mortgage and construction and development loans. The graph shows that as construction and develop loans increase over time, long-term mortgage assets decrease. In 2005 a cross over occurs when construction and developments loans show a greater percent of assets than long-term mortgage. The two trends meet at 8% assets in 2009.
