Denial rate by applicant group, 2024
On the 1,145 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.
