According to the CFPB HMDA 2024 Snapshot. Origination share is originated divided by applications among reporters with 1,000+ applications. Denial share and origination share do not sum to 100% because HMDA also records withdrawals, incompletes, and purchased loans. See /methodology#corpus-placement. Informational reporting, not mortgage advice.

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 |

| Home Improvement | 531 | 220 | $109,501 |
| Other | 437 | 160 | $102,437 |

| Home Purchase | 106 | 37 | $478,208 |
| Refinancing | 34 | 15 | $909,412 |
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 | 613 | 42.7% | 25.8% |
| Black or African American | 345 | 32.8% | 37.1% |
| Asian * | 43 | 18.6% | 32.6% |
| Joint * | 19 | 47.4% | 21.1% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 5 | 40.0% | 20.0% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 4 | 0.0% | 25.0% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 3 | 66.7% | 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 | 708 | 37.6% | 29.7% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 313 | 36.1% | 30.4% |
| Joint | 51 | 56.9% | 17.6% |
