According to the CFPB HMDA 2024 Snapshot. Origination share is originated divided by applications among reporters with 1,000+ applications. Denial share and origination share do not sum to 100% because HMDA also records withdrawals, incompletes, and purchased loans. See /methodology#corpus-placement.

High-volume book. The First Bank funded 1,207 mortgages, above the fleet upper tercile (~310 originations) - so absolute denial and purpose counts matter more here than at thin reporters. Most-cited denial codes: Debt-to-income ratio, Credit history, Collateral. Program weight concentrates in Conventional (1,442 applications).

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 | 808 | 559 | $333,639 |
| Refinancing | 443 | 363 | $235,971 |
| Home Improvement | 284 | 169 | $104,754 |
| Other | 171 | 101 | $144,825 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 35 | 15 | $235,286 |
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 | 1,103 | 69.4% | 16.6% |
| Black or African American | 285 | 52.6% | 27.0% |
| Asian * | 28 | 42.9% | 25.0% |
| Joint * | 16 | 87.5% | 0.0% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 6 | 50.0% | 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 | 1,379 | 65.8% | 18.5% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 38 | 60.5% | 23.7% |
| Joint * | 13 | 84.6% | 7.7% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
