What MSA numbers tell you, and what they don't. Metro area boundaries are defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and typically span multiple counties, so a single Roanoke denial rate averages across urban core, inner suburbs, and outer commuter communities with very different borrower profiles. A 16.4% denial rate at the MSA level can coexist with widely varying individual-lender denial rates; $212,578 average loan size reflects the MSA's property values and the borrower pool that actually applied, not any single neighborhood.
