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 Winston-Salem denial rate averages across urban core, inner suburbs, and outer commuter communities with very different borrower profiles. Metro denial rates are shaped primarily by applicant mix — credit profile, loan-to-value, debt-to-income, property type — not by a single "local market" stance. A $18.0% denial rate at the MSA level can coexist with widely varying individual-lender denial rates; $224,201 average loan size reflects the MSA's property values and the borrower pool that actually applied, not any single neighborhood.

How to use this page. These are aggregate 2024 HMDA disclosures published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — federal transparency data, not a real-time mortgage rate quote. A metro-level number is useful context but says nothing about what any particular lender will offer a specific borrower; rates, fees, and underwriting vary by lender, product, and file. This page is informational data reporting, not financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Shop at least three lenders, compare Loan Estimates carefully, and consult a licensed mortgage professional before applying. Data reflects the CFPB HMDA 2024 Snapshot National Loan-Level Dataset.
