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

| Other | 30 | 24 | $116,333 |

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 | 69 | 81.2% | 10.1% |
| Black or African American * | 20 | 60.0% | 20.0% |
| Asian * | 7 | 57.1% | 42.9% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 3 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
| Joint * | 1 | 100.0% | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hispanic or Latino | 91 | 81.3% | 13.2% |
| Not Hispanic or Latino * | 30 | 66.7% | 23.3% |
| Joint * | 7 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
