What drives state-level differences. State mortgage denial rates reflect applicant mix more than lender stance. Credit profiles, loan-to-value ratios, debt-to-income, property type, and rural-versus-urban composition all move the number before any lender policy does. Demographic lending data reported under HMDA shows variation across applicant groups, for example, White applicants had an approval rate of 61.7% and denial rate of 18.9%; while Asian applicants had an approval rate of 56.3% and denial rate of 19.0%. These are derived race categories as reported by applicants and do not by themselves prove causation; credit score, income, and loan-to-value are not reported in HMDA and drive much of the underlying variation. Top counties by volume include Suffolk County, Nassau County, Queens County.

How to read this page. These are aggregate 2024 HMDA disclosures published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal transparency dataset, not a real-time market feed. A state-level number is useful for context but cannot tell you what rate, fees, or underwriting any individual lender will offer a specific borrower. This page is informational data reporting, not financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Shop at least three lenders, compare Loan Estimates line-by-line, and consult a licensed mortgage professional before applying. Data reflects the CFPB HMDA 2024 Snapshot National Loan-Level Dataset; demographic fields reflect derived categories as reported by applicants.
