Why borrowers applied
Purchase, refinance and cash-out are reported as distinct purposes; average loan size usually separates them more sharply than volume does.

|---|---|---|---|
| Other | 219 | 86 | $42,534 |
| Home Improvement | 196 | 101 | $44,643 |

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 | 336 | 48.5% | 34.8% |
| Black or African American | 53 | 24.5% | 66.0% |
| Joint * | 10 | 50.0% | 40.0% |
| Asian * | 5 | 40.0% | 20.0% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 3 | 33.3% | 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 | 382 | 45.5% | 39.3% |
| Joint * | 9 | 77.8% | 0.0% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 8 | 37.5% | 25.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
