Attribution & methodology. Benchmarks are computed by MortRadar from Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) public data files published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), covering activity years 2018–2025. Originations = loans originated (action taken 1); denial rate = denials / actioned applications (CFPB Data Browser convention); loan amounts are the public files' midpoint-rounded values. MortRadar's aggregations are derived works and are not published, reviewed, or endorsed by the CFPB, FFIEC, or any government agency. See data attribution and the disclaimer.
