Denial rate by applicant group, 2024
On the 4,886 screened applications in this county: first-lien, owner-occupied, site-built, one-unit home purchases. These are raw rates. Here the Black rate is 14.7% and the White non-Hispanic rate 4.5%, a difference of 10.2 pp. That difference is not adjusted for debt load, leverage, product or income. Nationally, reweighting on those four accounts for 44.0% of the Black/White gap; see the standardization. A group with fewer than 100 screened applications shows its count and no rate.
