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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other | 786 | 495 | $202,532 |
| Home Purchase | 342 | 136 | $404,561 |

| Cash-out Refinancing | 5 | 4 | $237,000 |
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 | 653 | 62.2% | 18.2% |
| Black or African American | 166 | 45.2% | 20.5% |
| Asian | 83 | 55.4% | 20.5% |
| Joint * | 25 | 36.0% | 24.0% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 8 | 25.0% | 37.5% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 3 | 33.3% | 33.3% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 2 | 0.0% | 50.0% |
* 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 | 718 | 59.2% | 18.0% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 150 | 50.7% | 28.7% |
| Joint | 56 | 53.6% | 19.6% |
