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 | 1,486 | 997 | $66,494 |
| Home Purchase | 1,366 | 803 | $264,444 |
| Other | 690 | 419 | $64,580 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 662 | 490 | $109,486 |
| Refinancing | 314 | 207 | $207,739 |
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 | 3,295 | 73.2% | 15.3% |
| Black or African American | 358 | 56.1% | 31.3% |
| Asian | 70 | 72.9% | 14.3% |
| Joint | 57 | 71.9% | 22.8% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 19 | 52.6% | 21.1% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 12 | 50.0% | 33.3% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 5 | 60.0% | 40.0% |
* 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 | 3,599 | 71.8% | 16.6% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 154 | 59.1% | 26.0% |
| Joint * | 39 | 84.6% | 10.3% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
