Why borrowers applied
Purchase, refinance and cash-out are reported as distinct purposes; average loan size usually separates them more sharply than volume does.

| Home Purchase | 4,189 | 3,194 | $367,261 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 437 | 228 | $368,181 |

| Other | 24 | 15 | $183,750 |
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 | 3,381 | 73.1% | 5.9% |
| Asian | 274 | 69.7% | 9.8% |
| Joint | 155 | 74.2% | 8.4% |
| Black or African American | 141 | 64.5% | 11.3% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 46 | 87.0% | 2.2% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 8 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 4 | 75.0% | 25.0% |
* 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hispanic or Latino | 2,454 | 74.8% | 6.1% |
| Not Hispanic or Latino | 1,726 | 70.6% | 6.6% |
| Joint | 279 | 73.5% | 7.9% |
