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 | 213 | 153 | $130,446 |
| Home Purchase | 124 | 51 | $271,210 |

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 | 369 | 61.8% | 18.2% |
| Asian * | 8 | 50.0% | 25.0% |
| Joint * | 7 | 42.9% | 0.0% |
| Black or African American * | 3 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
* 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 | 356 | 63.2% | 17.1% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 18 | 38.9% | 44.4% |
| Joint * | 11 | 54.5% | 0.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
