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 | 124 | 104 | $252,500 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 30 | 29 | $162,667 |
| Home Improvement | 28 | 25 | $52,143 |
| Other | 12 | 9 | $124,167 |
| Refinancing | 10 | 9 | $138,000 |
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 | 168 | 86.9% | 3.6% |
| Black or African American * | 3 | 66.7% | 33.3% |
| Asian * | 2 | 50.0% | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not Hispanic or Latino | 163 | 87.7% | 3.7% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 3 | 33.3% | 33.3% |
| Joint * | 2 | 50.0% | 0.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
