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 Purchase | 100 | 68 | $473,800 |
| Other | 86 | 29 | $88,488 |
| Home Improvement | 67 | 53 | $123,209 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 24 | 10 | $206,250 |
| Refinancing | 14 | 7 | $206,429 |
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 | 268 | 57.1% | 20.9% |
| Joint * | 11 | 54.5% | 9.1% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 4 | 25.0% | 50.0% |
| Asian * | 2 | 50.0% | 50.0% |
* 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 | 276 | 56.5% | 20.6% |
| Joint * | 6 | 50.0% | 33.3% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 3 | 66.7% | 33.3% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
