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. Informational reporting, not mortgage advice.

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 | 512 | 235 | $106,035 |
| Home Improvement | 497 | 278 | $113,270 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 277 | 202 | $129,079 |
| Home Purchase | 272 | 97 | $386,140 |
| Refinancing | 112 | 61 | $216,339 |
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 | 1,219 | 54.1% | 19.9% |
| Asian | 58 | 44.8% | 22.4% |
| Joint * | 37 | 54.0% | 21.6% |
| Black or African American * | 17 | 17.6% | 41.2% |
| Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander * | 16 | 43.8% | 25.0% |
| American Indian or Alaska Native * | 10 | 40.0% | 40.0% |
| 2 or more minority races * | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not Hispanic or Latino | 1,181 | 54.0% | 19.7% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 123 | 38.2% | 30.9% |
| Joint | 63 | 54.0% | 17.5% |
