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 | 149 | 89 | $253,255 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 23 | 16 | $208,043 |
| Refinancing | 16 | 10 | $236,250 |
| Home Improvement | 1 | 0 | $695,000 |
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 | 120 | 72.5% | 3.3% |
| Black or African American * | 49 | 36.7% | 12.2% |
| Asian * | 9 | 55.6% | 11.1% |
| Joint * | 3 | 66.7% | 0.0% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 2 | 50.0% | 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 | 168 | 61.9% | 6.5% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 11 | 36.4% | 0.0% |
| Joint * | 4 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
