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 | 473 | 370 | $291,258 |
| Refinancing | 65 | 49 | $263,308 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 21 | 13 | $283,095 |
| Home Improvement | 20 | 16 | $100,500 |
| Other | 14 | 11 | $179,286 |
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 | 433 | 75.3% | 6.7% |
| Black or African American * | 16 | 50.0% | 18.8% |
| Asian * | 10 | 60.0% | 0.0% |
| Joint * | 8 | 75.0% | 0.0% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 6 | 66.7% | 16.7% |
* 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 | 450 | 75.1% | 6.4% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 13 | 46.1% | 15.4% |
| Joint * | 3 | 66.7% | 33.3% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
