One year only. This county code appears in 1 of the 7 modern-schema years, so there is no trend to plot. Connecticut replaced its eight counties with nine planning regions and the 2024 file uses the new codes, which is one way a county code can be new; a lender reporting a code for the first time is another. Nothing is back-filled onto a code that the earlier files do not carry.

Denial rate by applicant group, 2024

On the 1,532 screened applications in this county: first-lien, owner-occupied, site-built, one-unit home purchases. These are raw rates. Neither a Black nor a White non-Hispanic rate is compared here: the comparison is only drawn where both groups filed at least 100 screened applications, and in this county at least one of them did not. A group with fewer than 100 screened applications shows its count and no rate.

County codes are not stable. The register carries the county FIPS the lender reported. Codes change: Connecticut replaced its eight counties with nine planning regions, and the 2024 file uses the new codes. Every county on this layer was checked against a FIPS reference before it was given a page, and a county present in one year is not assumed to be present in the next. The state-level series for this state is on /mortgage/CT.
