Frequently asked questions
- What is HMDA data?
- Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, most mortgage lenders report every home loan application they receive and what happened to it. The data covers purchases, refinances and home improvement loans. DatenUS shows totals for each area only, not individual applications.
- How is the denial rate calculated?
- The denial rate is the number of denied applications divided by applications that reached a decision: loans made, applications approved but not accepted, and denied applications. Withdrawn and incomplete applications are left out. Rates are not shown when fewer than 20 applications reached a decision.
