Why borrowers applied
Purchase, refinance and cash-out are reported as distinct purposes; average loan size usually separates them more sharply than volume does.
| Purpose | Applications | Originated | Avg Loan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other | 805 | 400 | $91,050 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 769 | 499 | $119,707 |
| Home Improvement | 613 | 366 | $86,142 |
| Home Purchase | 457 | 322 | $348,939 |
| Refinancing | 166 | 90 | $270,602 |
Reported outcomes by applicant race
CFPB derived race categories. HMDA carries no credit score, debt-to-income ratio or down payment, so a gap between these rows is an outcome difference and never, on its own, evidence of discrimination.
| Race | Applications | Approval Rate | Denial Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| White | 2,014 | 62.5% | 19.0% |
| Black or African American | 277 | 46.2% | 35.0% |
| Asian | 79 | 41.8% | 27.9% |
| Joint | 52 | 73.1% | 5.8% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 11 | 45.5% | 45.5% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 7 | 42.9% | 42.9% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 5 | 40.0% | 40.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
Reported outcomes by applicant ethnicity
Hispanic or Latino is an ethnicity, not a race, and is reported separately per U.S. Census Bureau standards. The same limitation applies: HMDA records the outcome, not the underwriting inputs behind it.
| Ethnicity | Applications | Approval Rate | Denial Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not Hispanic or Latino | 2,283 | 60.5% | 20.8% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 88 | 47.7% | 27.3% |
| Joint * | 47 | 72.3% | 8.5% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
