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.

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 | 134 | 91 | $85,896 |
| Home Purchase | 116 | 63 | $160,086 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 80 | 45 | $125,375 |
| Other | 46 | 32 | $80,652 |
| Refinancing | 3 | 1 | $161,667 |
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 | 244 | 63.5% | 27.1% |
| Black or African American * | 5 | 60.0% | 20.0% |
| Joint * | 5 | 80.0% | 20.0% |
| Asian * | 1 | 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 | 222 | 64.4% | 25.7% |
| 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.
