BANKING & COMMUNITY Perspectives FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS SUPPLEMENT 1998 Eleventh District HMDA Profile The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has released the 1998 home mortgage loan data gathered under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The national data, released in August 1999, reflect lending for nearly 8,000 institutions covered by the act. This profile summarizes lending patterns for the United States and 10 geographically diverse metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the Eleventh District, which includes Texas, southern New Mexico and northern Louisiana. Home Purchase Loans Figures 1 through 3 show the percentage changes in home purchase loans (conventional plus governmentinsured) from 1997 to 1998 by racial/ ethnic group and income level. Because of smaller population and number of loan originations in the four smaller MSAs studied—Brownsville, Laredo, Las Cruces and Shreveport—only percentage changes for the two largest ethnic groups in each city are given. Table 1 contains the complete HMDA data reflected in the figures. National Lending Patterns Nationally, as shown in Figure 1A, home purchase loans increased in all racial/ethnic categories, with the largest increase—21 percent—among American Indians. Loans to Hispanics increased 16 percent, followed by a 13 percent increase for both Asians and Whites and 8 percent for Blacks. The category of race unknown increased by more than 57 percent, representing almost 7 percent of all originations. During 1998, home purchase loans increased across all income levels, as shown in Figure 1B. When the loan data are segmented by income levels, low- or moderate-income borrowers increased by 19 percent, the largest percentage increase of any income group. Additionally, lending to low- or moderate-income Black, Hispanic, White and Asian borrowers increased at a faster rate than that to their middle- and upper-income counterparts across the United States. Racial/Ethnic Lending Patterns in 10 MSAs The six largest MSAs recorded increased total loan originations in 1998, as shown in Figure 2. Dallas and Houston had the largest percentage increases: 26 and 25, respectively. Fort Worth posted a 20 percent increase, followed by Austin, with 19 percent, and El Paso and San Antonio, both with 12 percent. A snapshot of lending in the major MSAs shows that: • The percentage increases of Hispanic borrowers were generally Figure 1 1997– 98 Percent Change in Home Purchase Loans in the United States A.

Asian Black Hispanic White Race unknown higher than the 16 percent national average for Hispanics, with Dallas and Houston recording the largest percentage gains, 38 and 26, respectively. The lowest increases were 14 percent in El Paso and 15 percent in San Antonio. • The percentage increase of Black borrowers was higher than the 8 percent national average in four of the six larger cities. Fort Worth recorded the highest gain at 37 percent, followed by Dallas’ 25 percent increase. Austin and San Antonio had the smallest percentage gains at 2 and 5, respectively. • More American Indians received home loans in the major cities, except in El Paso and San Antonio, where lending dropped 23 percent and 15 percent, respectively, from 1997 to 1998. • Among White borrowers, four MSAs showed increases higher than the 13 percent national average, including Houston at 25 percent and Dallas at 22 percent. In San Antonio and El Paso, lending to Whites increased only 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. • Lending to Asians increased in all six large MSAs, with the greatest gains in Dallas, 31 percent; Fort Worth, 25 percent; and Houston, 22 percent. • In all six of the largest MSAs, the race unknown category increased by more than 40 percent. Among the four smaller MSAs, all but Laredo were below the national average of 15 percent for total lending increases. Laredo saw a 20 percent jump in total lending. Lending in Shreveport increased almost 6 percent for Blacks and about 8 percent for Whites. Lending to Hispanics rose 3 percent in Las Cruces, nearly 5 percent in Brownsville and 18 percent in Laredo. Percentage gains for Whites ranged from 7 in Las Cruces to 17 in Brownsville and Laredo. Lending Patterns by Racial/Ethnic Group and Income As seen in Figure 3, total lending to low- or moderate-income borrowers increased in all six of the larger MSAs, with five experiencing sizable percentage increases: 37 in Dallas, 25 in Austin and El Paso, 23 in Houston and 19 in Fort Worth. The percentage increases are larger than the national average increase of 19 percent for the low- or moderateincome category. 2 Figure 2 1997–98 Percent Change in Home Purchase Loans in 10 Eleventh District MSAs by Racial/Ethnic Group* Austin Dallas 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 0 T AI A B H W RU T AI A B H W RU H W RU H W RU Fort Worth El Paso 50 50 40 40 30 20 30 10 20 0 –10 10 –20 0 –30 T AI A B H W T RU AI Houston 80 40 60 30 40 20 20 10 0 0 AI A B B San Antonio 50 T A H W RU –20 T AI Brownsville A B Laredo 20 25 20 15 15 10 10 5 5 0 0 Total Hispanic White Total Las Cruces Hispanic White Shreveport 10 10 8 8 6 6 4 4 2 2 0 0 Total Hispanic White Total Black White * T, Total; AI, American Indian; A, Asian; B, Black; H, Hispanic; W, White; RU, race unknown.

Home purchase loans include both conventional and government-insured mortgage loans. 2. Loans by income categories may not add up to total loans because income is not available for some applicants. 3. Details do not add to totals because the table does not include the categories of “other” and “joint.” 4. Low or moderate income is defined as less than 80 percent of the HUD estimated median MSA income. Middle income is defined as greater than 80 percent and less than 120 percent of median MSA income. Upper income is defined as greater than 120 percent of median MSA income.

The FFIEC cautions that analysis of the HMDA data alone is not sufficient to determine whether market forces, changes in underwriting practices, illegal mortgage discrimination or other factors caused the additional denials. Figure 4 illustrates that as income increased, denial rates declined. Table 2 contains the complete HMDA data reflected in the figures. In the six largest MSAs, the total denial rates ranged from 22 percent in Dallas to 35 percent in El Paso. The denial rate for low- or moderate-income applicants was generally higher than that for middleand upper-income applicants. White applicant denial rates were generally lower than the denial rates for Black and Hispanic applicants. The differences between White and Black applicants ranged from a low of 5 percentage points in Fort Worth to more than 24 percentage points in Austin. The differences in denial rates between White and Hispanic applicants were 27 percentage points in Austin, about 15 percentage points in El Paso and San Antonio and less than 5 percentage points in Fort Worth. Denial rates for Asian applicants were generally lower than those for other racial/ethnic groups. In the smaller MSAs, total denial rates ranged from 32 percent in Shreveport to 48 percent in Laredo.
