Press Release
For Immediate Release

July 29, 1999

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today announced the availability of data about 1998 mortgage lending activity in metropolitan areas and released analyses of
nationwide summary statistics regarding lending patterns. The nationwide summary statistics are
attached to this release; the following provides a general overview.
The data reflect lending activity for 7,837 institutions, both depository and non-depository,
that are covered by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and that reported data to member
agencies of the FFIEC—the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Board, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift
Supervision—and to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The 1998 data include 24.7 million reported loans and applications, an increase of about 50
percent from 1997, resulting primarily from a very large increase in refinancing activity (table 1).
The number of home purchase loans extended in 1998 compared with 1997 increased 21 percent for
Native Americans, 16 percent for Hispanics, 13 percent for Asians and Whites, and 9 percent for
Blacks. During the six years from 1993 through 1998, the number of home purchase loans extended
has increased 87 percent for Hispanics, 72 percent for Blacks, 52 percent for Native Americans, 46
percent for Asians, and 31 percent for Whites (table 7). (The period 1993-1998 is used because
HMDA coverage was expanded in 1993 to include a significantly large group of independent mortgage companies.)
The number of home purchase loans extended to applicants in all income categories increased in 1998 compared with the prior year. The number of such loans extended in 1998 to applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the median family income for their metropolitan statistical area (MSA) increased 19 percent over 1997. During the same period, applicants with incomes of
100-119 percent of their MSA’s median experienced a 15 percent increase, while 14 percent increases were experienced by applicants with incomes of 80-99 percent and 120 percent or more of
the median (table 7).
During the six years from 1993 through 1998, the number of home purchase loans extended
to applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the median increased 64 percent. During the same
period, applicants with incomes equaling or exceeding 120 percent of the median experienced an
increase of 45 percent. Applicants with incomes of 80-99 percent and 100-119 percent of the median
experienced increases of 42 percent and 37 percent respectively (table 7). A significant minority of

-2home purchase loan applications in 1998 was for government-backed loans; the majority was for
conventional (non-government-backed) loans (table 2). The number of government-backed loans
extended to Native Americans increased 34 percent in 1998 compared with 1997. The number of
such loans extended to Hispanics increased 9 percent over the same period, while Whites, Blacks,
and Asians experienced increases of 5, 3, and 1 percent respectively (table 6).
The number of government-backed home purchase loans extended to applicants in all income
categories increased in 1998 from 1997 levels. The number of such loans extended to applicants
with incomes of less than 80 percent of their MSA’s median increased 9 percent, compared with
increases of 4 percent for applicants with incomes of 100-119 percent and 120 percent or more of the
median. Applicants whose incomes were 80-99 percent of the median experienced a 3 percent
increase (table 6).
The number of conventional loans extended to Hispanics and Native Americans increased 22
and 17 percent, respectively, in 1998 compared with 1997. The number of conventional loans
extended to Asians and Whites increased 15 percent over the same period, and the number of such
loans extended to Blacks increased 13 percent (table 5).
The number of conventional home purchase loans extended to applicants in all income
categories increased in 1998 from 1997 levels. Applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the
MSA median experienced an increase of 25 percent. Applicants with incomes of 80-99 percent and
100-119 percent of the median experienced increases of 20 percent, while applicants whose incomes
equaled or exceeded 120 percent of the median experienced an increase of 16 percent (table 5).
Denial rates for conventional home purchase loans in 1998 were 54 percent for Black applicants, 53 percent for Native American applicants, 39 percent for Hispanic applicants, 26 percent for
White applicants, and 12 percent for Asian applicants (table 3). These rates were marginally higher
than in 1997 for each group except Asians, for whom denial rates fell.
The overall denial rate for conventional loans was 29 percent in 1998. This rate has increased from 17 percent in 1993. Analysis of HMDA data alone is not sufficient, however, to
determine whether this and other observed patterns in mortgage lending and denial rates result from
market forces, changes in underwriting practices, illegal mortgage discrimination, or differences in
mortgage loan growth among states and MSAs.
The disclosure statements underlying the statistics presented above and in the attached tables
are available for public inspection at central depositories throughout the nation. The disclosures
include individual financial institutions’ disclosure statements and aggregate data for each MSA.
(The location of the central depository for an MSA can be obtained by calling the FFIEC at 202/6346526 or by visiting the FFIEC Web site (www.ffiec.gov) at this page: www.ffiec.gov/hmda/centdep/
main.cfm.) In addition to the disclosures available at central depositories, HMDA data are available
from three other sources: at offices of lenders subject to HMDA, directly from the FFIEC in Washington, D.C., and at the FFIEC Web site at http://www.ffiec.gov.

-3The FFIEC makes HMDA data available in various formats, including paper, magnetic tape,
CD-ROM, and at the FFIEC Web site. Tables showing the nationwide aggregates and key demographic information for MSAs can be obtained in paper form. The data for all individual loans and
applications, submitted by the reporting institutions, are available on CD-ROM and magnetic tape.
An order form, with descriptions of the various reports and formats available, is attached to this
release.
The HMDA reports contain data about loan originations, loan purchases, and applications
that did not result in a loan; and they give information about three characteristics of applicants or
borrowers: race or national origin, sex, and annual income. For most loans relating to property
located in MSAs, as well as some loans relating to property located outside MSAs, the reports
identify the geographic location, usually by census tract.
The HMDA data also include information on loans that are sold, showing the type of purchaser of the loan. Among other things, this information is used by HUD in assessing the performance of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in meeting their legislatively mandated affordable housing
goals.
The FFIEC also provides data on mortgage insurance applications. Data from the nation’s
eight private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies were compiled under the auspices of the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, and are available at individual PMI companies, at the central
depositories in each MSA, and from the FFIEC.

Loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Farmers Home Administration.

2.

MSA median is median family income of the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in which the property related to the loan is located.

3. Census tracts are categorized by the median family income for the tract relative to the median family income for the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in which the tract is located.
Categories are defined as follows: Low income, median family income for census tract less than 50 percent of median family income for MSA; Moderate income, median family income
for census tract 50 percent to 79 percent of MSA median; Middle income, median family income 80 percent to 119 percent of MSA median; Upper income, median family income 120
percent or more of MSA median.

HMDA DATA ORDER FORM
ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
• Unless otherwise specified, reports using HMDA data are available beginning with 1990. HMDA data generally become available by
August of the year following the reporting year, and data through calendar year 1998 are now available. Reports using census data
and the HUD Median Family Income Listings become available earlier in the year. Please refer to the HMDA Assistance Line at
(202) 452-2016, email at HMDAHELP@FRB.GOV, or Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda for the latest release of these reports.
• There is an additional charge for each year, MSA, and/or institution requested.
• Charges for duplicate requests apply.

The FFIEC has entered into an agreement with the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (MICA) to compile data on
mortgage insurance applications for the nation's eight private mortgage insurance companies. These data are available
beginning with data for the fourth quarter of calendar year 1993 and for calendar years 1994 through 1996. The FFIEC makes
the data available in formats similar to those for the HMDA data. The following items are available for MICA data: Disclosure
Statements (Item #001); Aggregate Reports (Item #002); the National Aggregate Report (Item #005); MSA by MSA Report on
the Disposition of Applications by Race and Income of Each Applicant (Item #006); LAR & TS Raw Data (Item #102);
Reporter Panel (Item #103); and MSA Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements on CD-ROM (Item #302). Because 1993
MICA data cover only the fourth quarter, the charge for the LAR & TS Raw Data (Item #102) is $125. Subsequent years' data
are collected annually, and therefore, charges do not differ from the FFIEC data. Items other than the LAR & TS Raw Data do
not have a reduced price for the 1993 reporting year. When ordering items, be sure to specify the data type. The FFIEC data
include those institutions required to report HMDA under Regulation C, and the MICA data include those eight mortgage
insurers reporting HMDA data as agreed upon with the FFIEC.

Aggregate Report: The Aggregate Reports of MSAs, sorted by MSA, are distributed as either hardcopy or on tape. Printed reports of
MSAs range from 30 to 604 pages each, and average about 60 pages. For years prior to 1996, this report aggregates the mortgage and
home improvement lending information within an MSA, where an institution has a home or branch office in that MSA. For 1996 and years
thereafter, this report aggregates the mortgage and home improvement lending information within an MSA, regardless of whether the
institution has a home or branch office in that MSA. It is in the same format as the disclosure statements; however, individual institution’s
data cannot be identified. Tape distribution is used in lieu of hardcopy as a convenience to those sites that can print the tape locally. This
is a print image tape; therefore, the data cannot be manipulated.
For hardcopy distribution, enter the MSA number for each MSA desired on the report in the space provided on the form. If additional
space is required, use the back of the form. The charge for hardcopy distribution is $50.00 for each MSA requested.(Item #002)
For tape distribution, all MSAs are included on the tape. Also, a listing is provided that shows the relative position and number of
pages for each MSA on the tape. Data are in EBCDIC and formatted as follows: record length = 166; block size = 24,900; and record
format = fixed block. Printing these records requires a printer featured for 166 character output. The charge for tape distribution is
$500.00. (Item #101)
The hardcopy Aggregate item is also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior to 1993 (see above).
A Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting it Right: The guide was developed to assist those who prepare the HMDA report for their
institutions, and also contains an executive summary for management officials that explains the responsibilities of institutions that are
subject to HMDA. The 1998 version is a comprehensive edition for use beginning with the 1998 calendar year data (due March 1, 1999).
It provides a summary of responsibilities and requirements, directions for assembling the necessary tools, and step-by-step instructions for
reporting HMDA data. It includes information about obtaining data from the Bureau of the Census, and contains a listing of MSA, state,
and county codes. Appendices include Regulation C: the Instructions for Completion of the HMDA-LAR; Form and Instructions for Data
Collection on Race or National Origin and Sex; and the Staff Commentary on Regulation C. The guide is also available via the HMDA
Assistance Line Fax Back System at (202) 452-2016 or Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda. (Item #010)
July 1999

Counties Located in Non-Metro Areas Listing: The listing shows all county codes in non-metro areas by state. The listing is not
available for years prior to 1996. Please refer to the HMDA Assistance Line Fax Back System at (202) 452-2016 or Internet at
www.ffiec.gov/hmda for the latest release of this listing.
Disclosure Statement: The Disclosure Statement summarizes mortgage and home improvement lending information from data that are
prepared yearly by individual institutions. For 1996 and years thereafter, a supplemental report discloses data for property located outside
of MSAs in which the institution has a home or branch office. The Disclosure Statement is distributed in hardcopy at a cost of $50.00 for
each institution requested. (Item #001)
The Disclosure Statements are also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior to 1993 (see page 10).
Loan Application Records (LAR) and Transmittal Sheet (TS) Data: The LAR & TS data are collected by a financial institution as a
result of applications for, and originations and purchases of, home-purchase loans (including refinances) and home-improvement loans for
each calendar year. LARs for 1990 total almost 6.6 million records and 9,332 Transmittal Sheets (TSs); the 1991 LARs data total over 7.9
million records and 9,359 TSs; the 1992 LARs data total approximately 12.0 million records and 9,072 TSs; the 1993 LARs data total
approximately 15.0 million records and 9,650 TSs; the 1994 LARs data total approximately 12.0 million records and 9,858 TSs; the 1995
LARs data total over 11.0 million records and 9,539 TSs; the 1996 LARs data total over 14.0 million records and 9,328 TSs; and the 1997
LARs data total over 16.0 million records and 7,925 TSs. The following should be noted:
• Data are not certified as error free.
• For reasons of privacy, the dates and loan application numbers are omitted from each record.
• To form a unique identifier for a institution, the Respondent ID and single character Agency Code must be
used. To form a unique loan record identifier, the Respondent ID, Agency Code, and Loan Sequence
Number must be used. See record layout enclosed with distribution tape for additional information.
LAR and TS data are distributed on tape at a cost of $500.00. Reels or cartridges may be chosen. Record formats and file descriptions are
included with each order. (Item #102)
If reels are ordered, there are multiple reels containing the LAR data and one reel containing the TS data. If cartridges are ordered, there
are several cartridges containing the LAR data and one containing the TS data. (The number of reels/cartridges containing LAR data vary
according to the year requested because of the volume of data.) Note that both reels and cartridges containing LAR data are multi-volume
datasets. This means that to process ALL of the LAR data, each of the reels or cartridges must be read successively.
LAR and TS data are also distributed on CD-ROM at a cost of $50.00. The HMDA Raw Data Software System moved from a DOSbased to a Windows-based application as of 1995. For 1997 and years thereafter, most of the Reporter Panel(Item #103) information
that can be ordered on tape (reel and cartridge) is included on the CD-ROM. However, if you wish to order all of the reporter panel data
elements on tape in one file, refer to Item #103.
The user has the ability to do the following:
• Download the data contained on the compact discs to a file.
• Search by MSA, State, County, or Respondent ID and save to a file.
• Import the file created from a download or search into a software package or
mainframe application. It is important to consider the space limitations
of each application prior to loading the data into that application.
These LAR and TS files are also available for MICA data beginning with the fourth quarter of 1993. The 1993 MICA data are available at
a cost of $125 and are only available on reel or cartridge (see page 10).
MSA Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements on CD-ROM: The MSA Aggregate Reports and individual lender Disclosure
Statements for each MSA are available on CD-ROM at a cost of $150.00 for the entire nation. (Item #302)
The HMDA MSA Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements Software System moved from a DOS-based to a Windowsbased application as of 1996. The Software allows the user to search by MSA, an institution's individual disclosure statement, or a
specific table on the MSA aggregate report. Printing these records requires a printer featured for 166 character output.

July 1999

The MSA Aggregate Reports and Disclosure Statements on CD-ROM are also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior
to 1994 (see page 10).
MSA by MSA Report on the Disposition of Applications by Race and Income of Each Applicant: This report contains one table for
each of the MSAs. For years prior to 1996, the report provides the number and percentage of applications denied by the race and income
of the applicants within the MSA, where an institution has a home or branch office in that MSA. For 1996 and years thereafter, it provides
the number and percentage of applications denied by the race and income of the applicants within the MSA, regardless of whether the
institution has a home or branch office in that MSA. The report is available in hardcopy only at a cost of $50.00.(Item #006)
These reports are also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior to 1994 (see page 10).
MSA Median Family Income Listing: The listing shows “MSA Median Family Incomes for 19xx HMDA Reports” where xx is the
HMDA year (i.e. 1990, 1991, etc.). If a 1990 listing is selected, there is an adjustment factor of 1.6424 applied to the 1980 Median Family
Income column for each MSA to arrive at the Inflation Adjusted 1980 Median Family Income column. For 1991 and subsequent listings,
the median family income of the MSA is based on estimates developed annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). The figure for the MSA is the HUD estimate for the fiscal year that corresponds to the year for which the loan application data are
reported. For 1996 and years thereafter, the listing includes median family incomes for non-metro areas by state. This information is
calculated by taking the median family incomes of all census tracts and BNAs by state outside of the MSA boundaries. Please refer to the
HMDA Assistance Line Fax Back System at (202) 452-2016 or Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda for the latest release of this listing.
National Aggregate Reports: These reports are a nationwide summation of the individual MSA Aggregate Reports. They indicate the
number and dollar amounts of lending, cross tabulated by loan, applicant, and geographic characteristics. The data is now available on
the Internet beginning with 1998 data. Please refer to www.ffiec.gov/hmda for the latest release of this report. The charge for
hardcopy distribution is $50.00 (Item #005).
The National Aggregate Reports are also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior to 1993 (see page 10).
Reporter Directory: The Reporter Directory is a hardcopy of all HMDA reporters within a specified MSA, sorted by name of reporter
and then by state and county codes. This report provides the following information:
•

ID number, name of institution, city and state locations, total assets, and parent ID number.

•

For each state and county in which an institution has activity
-------

the state and county codes;
the number of tracts with loans;
the number of loans originated;
the number of applications;
the ratio of loans to applications; and
the number of loans purchased

The charge for non-profit organizations is $45 per requested MSA and $75 per MSA for all others.(Item #007)
Reporter Panel: The Reporter Panel is the universe of all institutions that reported under HMDA. The panel information is taken from
the database at the same time that the final disclosure and aggregate reports are prepared for the Central Depositories. Beginning in 1997,
some of the panel data elements (the name of the institution, the Respondent ID and agency code, and the MSA number(s) of the
metropolitan areas for which they reported) are included on the LAR & TS Raw Data CD-ROM(Item #102).
If you prefer to obtain all of the Reporter Panel information, i.e., the same data elements found on the CD-ROM as well as the reporter’s
agency group code and parent information (if applicable), you can order the complete reporter panel information on reel or cartridge at a
cost of $150.00. A format description is also included with each order.(Item #103).
The Reporter Panel is also available for MICA data. (Note that the MICA data are not available prior to 1994--see page 10).
