Press Release
July 31, 2003

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today announced the availability of data on small business, small farm, and community development
lending reported by commercial banks and thrifts.
The regulations that implement the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) generally require the reporting of data on these types of lending by independent commercial
banks and savings associations having total assets of $250 million or more, and by commercial banks and savings associations of any size if owned by a holding
company having assets of $1 billion or more. Analysis of Call Report and Thrift Financial Report data indicates that reporting institutions account for about 88
percent of the number of small business loans and about 32 percent of the number of small farm loans extended by all commercial banks and savings associations.
The 2002 CRA data reflect originations and purchases of small business, small farm, and community development loans from 1,986 institutions, including 1,495
commercial banks and 491 savings associations. (See attached fact sheet and related tables.) Approximately 8 million small business loans, totaling $253 billion, and
approximately 256,000 small farm loans, totaling $16 billion, were reported for 2002. The number of small business loans reported in 2002 increased by 24 percent
from 2001; the total dollar amount of these loans increased by about 13 percent from 2001 to 2002. The number of small farm loans reported in 2002 increased by 9
percent from 2001; the total dollar amount of these loans increased by 13 percent.
The small business and small farm lending data reported under the CRA regulations are more limited than the data reported on home mortgage lending under the Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The CRA data include information on loans originated or purchased, not on applications that are denied by the institution or
withdrawn by the applicant. The CRA data are not reported on an application-by-application basis; rather, the CRA data are aggregated into three loan-size categories
and then reported at the census tract level.
About 31 percent of the small business loans reported for 2002 were extended to borrowers with revenues of $1 million or less, down from 40 percent in 2001, and
down sharply from a high point of 60 percent in 1999. The decrease in the share of lending to small firms since 1999 is primarily the result of a substantial increase in
reported lines of credit, renewals of such lines with larger limits, and credit card lending to larger firms. The proportion of small farm loans made to borrowers with
revenues of $1 million or less in 2002 was 88 percent, about the same percentage as in 2001. The vast majority of reported small business loans (93 percent) and small
farm loans (82 percent) extended in 2002 were for amounts under $100,000. Small business loans were heavily concentrated in central city and suburban areas, as are
both the U.S. population and U.S. businesses. Small farm loans were heavily concentrated in rural areas.
The variation in small business lending among census tracts grouped into income categories generally parallels the distribution of the population and businesses among
these categories. In lower-income areas, most small business loans are made in central city census tracts; in higher-income areas, small business loans are most
frequently made in suburban census tracts. Most small farm loans are made in rural areas regardless of area income. A comparison of small business lending activity in
low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income areas in 2002 with 2001 shows that the share of the total number of loans and of the dollar amount of lending in these
areas remained about the same.
In 2002, commercial banks and savings associations reported community development lending that totaled approximately $28 billion. The dollar amount of
community development loans increased by about 13 percent from 2001 to 2002. The number of these loans is larger than in 2001, up about 17 percent to 30,554.
A community development loan has as its primary purpose affordable housing for low- or moderate-income individuals, community services targeted to these
individuals, activities that promote economic development by financing small businesses or small farms, or activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or
moderate-income neighborhoods. Under CRA regulations, retail institutions do not report community development loans as small business or small farm loans, or as
home mortgage loans under HMDA (except for multifamily dwelling loans reported under HMDA).
The FFIEC has prepared a disclosure statement from the 2002 CRA data reported, in electronic form, for each reporting commercial bank and savings association. The
FFIEC also has prepared aggregate disclosure statements of small business and small farm lending for each of the metropolitan areas and each of the non-metropolitan
counties in the United States and its territories, and has distributed these statements to central depositories throughout the nation, where they are available for public
inspection. The 2002 CRA data will be available on the FFIEC web site today (www.ffiec.gov/cra). An order form for CRA data and related items, with descriptions of
the various reports and formats available, is attached to this release and is also available on the FFIEC web site. Central depository locations, and an order form for
other data available from the FFIEC (including data on home mortgage loans reported under HMDA), can be found on the FFIEC web site.

Background
The CRA is intended to encourage federally insured commercial banks and savings associations to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are
chartered. The CRA regulations require larger commercial banks and savings associations to report data on their small business, small farm, and community
development lending. The institutions subject to these requirements generally include independent institutions with total assets of $250 million or more and institutions
of any size if owned by a holding company that has assets of $1 billion or more. Under the CRA regulations, small business loans are loans of $1 million or less; small
farm loans are loans of $500,000 or less. The small business and small farm lending data, when coupled with information reported about the geographic locations that
constitute each reporting institution's local CRA assessment area(s), make it possible to better evaluate the performance of reporting institutions under the CRA lending
test.1
The small business and small farm lending data reported under the CRA regulations differ from the data reported on home mortgage lending under the Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act (HMDA) in several respects. Unlike the HMDA data, the CRA data include information only on loans originated or purchased, not on applications that
are denied by the institution or withdrawn by the applicant. In addition, the CRA data do not include information about applicant income, sex, or racial or ethnic
background, although the CRA data do indicate whether a loan is extended to a borrower with annual revenues of $1 million or less. Finally, the CRA data are not
reported application-by-application, as HMDA data are, but rather are aggregated into three loan-size categories and then reported at the census tract level.
CRA data are a valuable tool for many different types of analyses. At the same time, the analysis of CRA data poses challenges. For example, lending institutions are
asked to report the geographic location of the small business or small farm receiving the loan. However, the borrower may have used those funds to support business
activities in other locations. Thus, assessment of the data may categorize a loan by the characteristics of the reported geography (typically a census tract) even though
the funds are used to support the activities of a firm's offices in a location with different characteristics.
While CRA data provide information on extensions of credit in a geographic area, they do not indicate the amount or nature of the overall demand for credit there.
Caution should be used in drawing conclusions from analyses using only CRA data, as differences in local loan volume may reflect differences in local demand, among
other things. Indeed, CRA performance assessments by the supervisory agencies focus on evaluating the volume and distribution of lending in the context of local credit
needs.
General Description of the 2002 CRA Data
A total of 1,986 lenders reported data on small business and small farm lending in 2002, including 1,495 commercial banks and 491 savings associations (table 1). Most
of the reporting institutions (74 percent) had assets under $1 billion, including 13 percent that had assets under $250 million (derived from table 3). (As indicated
above, independent institutions with assets under $250 million are not required to report these data.) Compared with 2001, the number of reporters has slightly
increased (up 4 percent).
Because the CRA data do not include the lending of all commercial banks and savings associations, the data do not fully represent all small business and small farm
lending by these types of institutions. Nonetheless, covered institutions represent a significant portion of such lending, particularly to small businesses. Analysis of Call
Report data on small loans to businesses and farms indicates that CRA reporters account for about 88 percent of the small business loans outstanding measured by
number of loans and 77 percent measured by dollars and 32 percent of the small farm loans outstanding measured by number of loans and 38 percent measured by
dollars extended by all commercial banks and savings associations (table 1).
In the aggregate, about 8 million small business loans, totaling $253 billion, and about 256,000 small farm loans, totaling $16 billion, were reported for 2002 (table 2).
Reported loans include both loans originated and loans purchased during 2002. Unlike home mortgage lending, a well developed secondary market for small business
loans does not exist, and the CRA data reflect this.2 Most reported small business and small farm loans were originations; less than 1 percent of the loans of either type
were reported as purchases from another institution (derived from table 2).
The CRA data provide information about the size of small business and small farm loans. For small business loans, the maximum loan size reported is $1 million; for
small farm loans the maximum is $500,000. In 2002, the average small business loan was approximately $33,500, down from $37,000 in 2001. The average small
farm loan in 2002 was about $63,300, up from $61,000 in 2001 (derived from table 2). Measured by number of loans, 93 percent of the small business loans and 82
percent of the small farm loans were for amounts under $100,000 (table 2). Measured by dollars, the distribution differs: 33 percent of the small business loan dollars
and 37 percent of the small farm loan dollars were extended through loans of less than $100,000 (table 2).
The CRA data include information on how many of the reported loans were extended to businesses or farms with revenues of $1 million or less. Such firms fall within
generally accepted definitions of a small business, although somewhat larger firms are also often categorized as being a small business or small farm. For 2002, 31
percent of the reported small business loans and 88 percent of the small farm loans (measured by number of loans) were extended to firms with revenues of $1 million
or less (table 2). The data also show that, on average, loans to firms with revenues under $1 million are larger than loans to larger firms. For example, for 2002, the
average business loan to small firms was about $47,800 while the average loan to larger businesses was roughly $27,100 (derived from table 2). This relationship is
contrary to expectations and to relationships found in years prior to 2000 when small business loans to small firms were on average about two-thirds the size of loans
to larger firms. The pattern found in the 2002 data (as well as in the 2001 data) reflects a substantial increase in the volume of credit card lending to larger businesses in
the past few years. Such loans tend to be for relatively small amounts. Increased competition among credit card lenders may have led to the increase in credit card loans
to larger businesses.
Most of the reported small business loans (about 77 percent measured by number of loans and 92 percent measured by dollars) were either originated or purchased by
commercial banks (data not shown). This preponderance of commercial banks in small business lending is consistent with data provided by other sources, including the
Federal Reserve's 1987, 1993, and 1998 National Surveys of Small Business Finances, which show that commercial banks are the predominant source of credit for small
businesses.3
Larger commercial banks and savings associations (those with assets of $1 billion or more) originated or purchased about 74 percent of the reported small business loans
(table 3). These larger banks and savings associations represent a minority, however, of the institutions reporting such loans. No significant differences between
commercial banks and savings associations were observed in this regard; larger institutions did the majority of small business lending within their institutional categories
(data not shown). The overall pattern differs for small farm loans, where larger institutions accounted for about half (47 percent) of the loans. These patterns are little
changed from previous years.
Reconciling the Numbers
The 2002 CRA data show a relatively large increase (about 24 percent) over the 2001 data in the total number of small business loans originated, with about 98 percent
of the increase occurring in loans of $100,000 or less (derived from table 2). Two factors may explain why small business lending increased so much from 2001 to
2002. First, three institutions had very large increases in the number of reported small business loans, which accounted for most of the increase in small business
lending.4 Second, some reporters were involved in mergers and acquisitions that brought previously uncovered institutions under the data reporting requirements.
A new rule allowing institutions to report loan renewals as separate originations may account for some of the increased lending. Similar increases in small business
lending were observed for reported data between 1999 and 2001, which appeared to be the consequence of a large increase in reported credit card activity, and the
opening of lines of credit.
The proportion of small business loans extended to smaller firms declined to 31 percent, down sharply from a high point of 60 percent in 1999. The decline in the
share of lending to small firms since 1999 is primarily the result of a substantial increase in reported lines of credit, renewals of such lines with larger limits, and credit
card lending to larger firms. In addition, the decline reflects a change in the data collection practices of some banks that no longer request revenue-size information
from business customers and as a result, no longer report which, if any, small business loans are to small firms.
The Geographic Distribution of Small Business and Small Farm Lending

The availability of information about the geographic location of businesses and farms receiving credit provides an opportunity to examine the distribution of small
business and small farm lending across areas grouped by their socio-demographic and economic characteristics. Information on the distribution of businesses and
population provide some context within which to view these distributions.
CRA performance assessments include an analysis of the distribution of small business and small farm loans (of all types) across census tracts grouped into four
neighborhood income categories: low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income.5 Overall, the distribution of the number and the dollar amounts of small business loans
across these categories parallels the distribution of population and businesses across these four income groups (tables 4.1 and 4.2).6 For example, low-income areas
include about 4.9 percent of the population and about 4.5 percent of the businesses, and received about 3.7 percent of the number and about 4.7 percent of the total
dollar amount of small business loans.7
The share of small business lending in low- and moderate-income areas remained about the same in 2002 as in 2001, measured both by total number of loans and total
dollar amount. The same year-over-year pattern is observed for lending in middle- and upper-income areas.
In the distribution of small business lending reported under the CRA across central city, suburban, and rural areas, small business loans are heavily concentrated in U.S.
central city and suburban areas (about 83 percent of the number or dollar amount of all small business loans), as are the bulk of the U.S. population and the number of
businesses (tables 4.1 and 4.2). In lower-income areas, most small business loans (about 89 percent) occur in central city census tracts; in higher-income areas, small
business loans are most frequently made in suburban census tracts. Most small farm loans are made in rural areas regardless of area income (about 75 percent of the
number of loans and 70 percent of the dollar amount of such lending) (tables 4.3 and 4.4).
Community Development Lending
In addition to information about small business and small farm lending, institutions covered by the CRA data reporting requirements also disclose the number and dollar
amount of their community development loans. Among the 1,986 reporting institutions in 2002, about 62 percent extended community development loans (derived
from table 5). For 2002, institutions reported 30,554 community development loans totaling $28 billion (table 5). The total number of reported community
development loans is higher than in 2001, up about 17 percent measured by number of loans and 13 percent by dollars. The new rule allowing institutions to report loan
renewals as separate loan originations may account for some of these increases.
As in earlier years, on average, community development loans are much larger ($910,000) than the typical small business loan ($33,500) reported in the CRA data.
Larger lenders (assets of $1 billion or more) extended the bulk of community development loans.

Footnotes
1. The regulations that implement the CRA provide three performance tests for large retail institutions: a lending test, an investment test, and a service test. The lending test focuses primarily on the
geographic distribution of lending, considering the proportion of loans extended within the institution's local community and the distribution of these loans among different types of borrowers and
neighborhoods.
2. The one exception is for small business loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. See "Report to Congress on Markets for Small Business and Commercial Mortgage Related Securities,"
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (September 1996).
3.See Rebel A. Cole, John D. Wolken, and R. Louise Woodburn, "Bank and Nonbank Competition for Small Business Credit: Evidence from the 1987 and 1993 National Surveys of Business Finances,"
Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 82, no. 11 (November 1996), pp. 983-995; and Marianne P. Bitler, Alicia M. Robb, and John D. Wolken, "Financial Services Used by Small Businesses: Evidence from the
1998 Survey of Small Business Finances," Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 87, no. 4 (April 2001), pp. 183-206.
4. These three institutions reported increases in the number of small business loans of 207,000, 155,000, and 1,038,000 respectively in the loan size category under $100,000. Together, these additional
1.4 million loans accounted for just $10.2 billion out of the total of $253.2 billion for all reported small business loans.
5. For purposes of the regulations, a low-income census tract has a median family income that is less than 50 percent of the median family income for the broader area (either metropolitan area or
non-metropolitan portion of a state); a moderate-income tract, 50 percent to less than 80 percent; a middle-income tract, 80 percent to less than 120 percent; and an upper-income tract, 120 percent or
more.
6. Beginning with 1998 data, institutions filing CRA data were allowed to report that the census tract location of a firm or farm receiving a loan was unknown. For 2002, 6.4 percent of the reported small
business loans by number and 1.7 percent by dollar amount included such a designation.
7. Data on the share of population across census tract income categories is derived from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing (most current available). Data on the share of businesses across census
tract income categories is derived from information from Dun and Bradstreet files of businesses. Calculations exclude agricultural-related firms.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today announced the availability of data for the year 2002 regarding mortgage lending transactions at
7,771 financial institutions covered by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) in metropolitan areas throughout the nation. These data include disclosure
statements for each financial institution, aggregate data for each metropolitan area, and nationwide summary statistics regarding lending patterns. A fact sheet and the
nationwide summary statistics are attached to this press release; the following provides a general overview.
The FFIEC prepares and distributes the individual disclosure statements and the aggregate reports on behalf of its member agencies-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 the
Department of Housing and Urban Development. Lenders are required to make the disclosure statements available at their home offices within three business days of
receiving the statements. In addition, for other metropolitan areas in which they have offices, lenders must either make a copy of the statements available at one
branch per metropolitan area or provide a copy upon written request. The disclosure statements and aggregate reports are now available for public inspection at central
depositories throughout the nation.
The HMDA data cover home purchase and home improvement loans and contain information about loan originations, loan purchases, and applications that did not
result in a loan. The 2002 data include a total of 31 million reported loans and applications, which is an increase of about 13 percent from 2001, primarily due to a
significant increase in refinancing activity (approximately 22 percent) (Table 1).
The number of home purchase loans extended in 2002 compared with 2001 varied by race and ethnicity. From 2001 to 2002, the number of such loans increased 11
percent for Hispanics, 18 percent for Asians, and 23 percent for Native Americans. Over the same period, blacks and whites had more moderate increases in home
purchase lending; the number of such loans increased 2 percent for blacks and 3 percent for whites.
From 1993 to 2002, the annual number of home purchase loans to Hispanics rose 186 percent; to Asians, 126 percent; to blacks, 80 percent; to Native Americans, 57
percent; and to whites, 30 percent. (The period 1993 to 2002 is used because HMDA coverage in 1993 was expanded to include significantly more independent
mortgage companies than previously had been covered under HMDA.) Refer to Table 7, attached, for year-to-year changes during the period 1993 to 2002.
The number of home purchase loans extended to all income groups increased modestly from 2001 to 2002. Applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the median
for the metropolitan area experienced an increase of 5 percent; applicants with incomes 80-99 percent of the median, 3 percent; applicants with incomes 100-119
percent of the median, 4 percent; and applicants with incomes 120 percent or more above the median, 4 percent. During the 1993 to 2002 period, the number of home
purchase loans to applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the median for the metropolitan area increased by 91 percent; to applicants with incomes 80-99
percent of the median, 57 percent; to applicants with incomes 100-119 percent of the median, 51 percent; and to applicants with incomes 120 percent or more above
the median, 66 percent. Refer to Table 7 for year-to-year changes during the period.
In 2002, the denial rates for conventional home purchase loans fell for the fourth consecutive year, after rising for most of the past decade (Table 3). In 1993, the
overall denial rate for conventional home purchase loans was 17 percent; by 1998 this rate had increased to 29 percent. The denial rate fell to 28 percent in 1999; to
27 percent in 2000; and to 21 percent in 2001. In 2002, the denial rate was down to 14 percent. All ethnic and racial groups experienced lower denial rates in 2002 as
compared with 2001, but denial rates continue to vary among racial and ethnic groups. In 2002, denial rates for conventional home purchase loans were as follows: for
black applicants, 26 percent; for Native American applicants, 23 percent; for Hispanic applicants, 18 percent; for white applicants, 12 percent; and for Asian
applicants, 10 percent.
From 1993 to 2001, the proportion of home loan applications of all types with missing race or ethnicity data increased from 8 percent to 30 percent. This proportion
fell to 28 percent in 2002 (Table 8). The proportion of applications for home purchase loans without race or ethnicity information is lower than for applications for
refinancings and home improvement loans, but still has grown substantially throughout the years and follows the same pattern as for applications of all types. Four
percent of home purchase loan applications lacked race or ethnicity information in 1993; in 2001, the proportion was 18 percent, and involved roughly 1.4 million
applications. In 2002, the proportion fell to 15 percent, and involved about 1.1 million applications. For home purchase loans originated, the same general pattern is
observed: 3 percent lacked information on race or ethnicity in 1993, by 2001 the proportion had grown to 13 percent, then fell to 12 percent in 2002.
Until recently, lenders were not required to request information on an applicant's race or ethnicity and sex when an application was taken entirely by telephone.
Because the growth in missing data on race or ethnicity could complicate analyses of changes in home mortgage lending over time, the Board revised the rule regarding
telephone applications. For all applications taken on or after January 1, 2003, lenders are required to ask applicants for race, ethnicity, and sex information in
telephone applications. For applications taken in person or by mail or electronic means (such as by facsimile or the Internet), a lender must request the information. In
all cases, an applicant has the option not to provide the information.
The location of the central depository for a metropolitan area can be obtained by calling the FFIEC at 202/872-7500. The FFIEC distributes the disclosure statements
to institutions and central depositories in electronic form only. In addition, the FFIEC makes HMDA data directly available to the public in various formats, including
magnetic tape and CD-ROM, and at the FFIEC web site (www.ffiec.gov/hmda). Some data are available in paper form (tables for 2002 showing key demographic
information for metropolitan areas, for instance).
An order form gives descriptions of the various reports, prices, and formats. It is available for printing from the FFIEC web site (www.ffiec.gov/hmda/orderform.htm).
Advance orders will be filled when the data become available.
The HMDA data also include information on loans that are sold, showing the type of purchaser of the loan. Among other things, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) uses this information in assessing the performance of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in meeting their legislatively mandated affordable
housing goals.
The FFIEC also provides data from the nation's seven private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies. The 2002 PMI data include information on approximately 2.6
million applications for mortgage insurance; about 1.5 million applications were to insure home purchase mortgages, and about 1.1 million were to insure mortgages to
refinance existing obligations. By August, these data will be available-at individual PMI companies, at the central depositories in each metropolitan area, and from the
FFIEC-in the same types of reports and in the same formats as the HMDA data.

The Data

For 2002, the FFIEC prepared 57,429 disclosure statements for 7,771 lenders, with a separate statement for each metropolitan area in which a
lender had an office or could be deemed to have an office under Regulation C, based on the number of applications and loans (Table 1). The
data reflect the lending activity of 4,026 commercial banks; 671 savings associations; 1,795 credit unions; and 1,279 mortgage companies (of
which 1,004 were independent mortgage companies).
Applications Received and Loans Made

In 2002, lenders covered by HMDA reported a total of about 31 million loans and applications that did not result in an origination (Table 1). The
total volume of reported home loan applications and purchases increased in 2002 by 13 percent from 2001, primarily due to a significant
increase (22 percent) in refinancing activity (Tables 1 and 2). The 2002 data show that lenders acted on approximately 26 million applications
for home purchase loans, home improvement loans, and refinancings (compared with approximately 24 million in 2001), and they purchased
about 5 million loans (compared with 4 million in 2001). The number of applications for home purchase loans in 2002 increased from 2001
levels by 3 percent.
Requests for refinancings accounted for 66 percent of all home loan applications (data not shown in tables). This proportion is higher than in
2001, when applications for refinancings accounted for about 60 percent of all applications. The increased volume and share of applications for
refinancings resulted primarily from a sharp drop in interest rates on mortgage loans.
Loan Programs and Changes in Lending Volume by Race and Income

Lending institutions tend to specialize in different types of home loans. For example, in the case of home purchase loans, mortgage companies
tend to do most of the government-backed lending, including FHA and VA loans, accounting for about 84 percent of all such originations in
2002. Depository institutions, particularly commercial banks, do most of the home improvement (87 percent) and multifamily lending (90
percent). (Data not shown in tables.)
Applications for different types of home purchase loans vary across racial and ethnic groups and income categories (Table 2). For example, in
2002, 27 percent of Hispanic applicants and 28 percent black applicants for home purchase loans applied for government-backed mortgages;
the comparable rates for Asians, whites, and Native Americans were 6 percent, 14 percent, and 19 percent, respectively. Moreover, 25 percent
of home purchase loan applicants with incomes less than 80 percent of the median family income for their metropolitan areas applied for
government-backed loans; by contrast, 7 percent of applicants with incomes of at least 120 percent of the metropolitan area median applied for
such loans (derived from Table 2, government-backed memo item). In addition, loan applicants seeking to buy a home in low- or moderate
income neighborhoods were more likely to apply for government-backed loans than those seeking to buy homes in upper-income
neighborhoods. In central cities and neighborhoods with greater proportions of minority residents, applications for government-backed homes
accounted for a higher share of all home purchase loan applications.
The greater reliance of lower-income households on government-backed loans reflects several factors. The low downpayment requirements
and the ability to finance closing costs make FHA and VA loans particularly attractive to lower-income households and first-time homebuyers,
who are likely to have fewer financial resources than other homebuyers. Dollar limits on the amount of FHA loan insurance or VA loan
guarantees make these government-backed loans unavailable or less attractive to households seeking to buy more expensive properties.
For conventional and government-backed home purchase lending, lending to Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans was up about 18
percent, 11 percent, and 23 percent respectively from 2001 to 2002; lending to whites and blacks rose 3 percent and 2 percent respectively
from 2001 to 2002 (Table 7).
Home purchase lending increased modestly for all income categories from 2001 to 2002. Lower-income households experienced the greatest
expansion, 5 percent; over the same period, home purchase lending increased by 4 percent for middle- and upper-income households, and by
3 percent for moderate-income households (Table 7).
Denial Rates

The overall denial rate for conventional home purchase loans in 2002 was 14 percent, down from a rate of 21 percent in 2001. A large portion
of this decline can be attributed to a significant drop in the number of applications for manufactured home loans, which have very high denial
rates.2 (Data not shown in tables). In 2002, the roughly two-dozen reporters categorized by HUD as manufactured home loan specialists
denied about 60 percent of all the applications they received for conventional home purchase loans. This proportion represents a marginal
decline from earlier years, when these lenders denied about two-thirds of all their applicants. In 2002, there was a sharp contraction from 2001
in reported manufactured home loan activity.3 (Data not shown in tables.) The number of applications for conventional home purchase loans
submitted to these lenders in 2002 dropped 65 percent from 2001, reflecting difficulties in the manufactured housing market. If the
manufactured home purchase loan applications and denials reported by these lenders are excluded from both the 2001 and 2002 data, the
denial rates for conventional home purchase loan applications would have been 13 percent in 2001 (instead of 21 percent) and 12 percent in
2002 (instead of 14 percent).
The HMDA data show that denial rates for home purchase loan applications vary with income. For example, in 2002 the denial rate for
conventional home purchase loans for lower-income applicants was 20 percent as compared with 8 percent for higher-income applicants
(derived from Table 3).
Denial rates for conventional home purchase loans continue to vary among applicants by race or ethnicity and by income; in 2002, however,
denial rates were markedly lower than in 2001 for every race and income group. In 2002, 26 percent of black applicants, 23 percent of Native
American applicants, 18 percent of Hispanic applicants, 12 percent of white applicants, and 10 percent of Asian applicants were denied
conventional home purchase loans (Table 3). Denial rates for conventional home purchase loans in 2001 were 36 percent for blacks, 35 percent
for Native Americans, 23 percent for Hispanics, 16 percent for whites, and 11 percent for Asians. The decline in denial rates from 2001 to 2002

follows the pattern of declining denial rates since 1998. This pattern is in contrast to the experience over the longer period from 1993 to 1998,
when denial rates for all ethnic and racial groups increased substantially.
Differences in the income levels of the racial or ethnic groups account for some of the differences among them in denial rates for 2002.
However, other factors are more important given that for all income groups, white and Asian applicants experienced lower rates of denial than
Native American, black, or Hispanic applicants (Table 4). The extent to which racial discrimination may account for remaining differences in
denial rates across racial and ethnic lines cannot be determined from the HMDA data.
Many lenders report reasons for denial of loan applications; in 2002, as in prior years, the reason most frequently cited for the denial of a
single-family home loan application, regardless of the applicant's race or ethnic status, was poor or no credit history (data not shown in tables).
This factor was cited in 41 percent of the denials for Native Americans, 37 percent of the denials for blacks, 33 percent of the denials for whites,
31 percent of the denials for Hispanics, and in 23 percent of the denials for Asians.
Missing Information on Race and Ethnicity

Until recently, lenders were not required to collect information on an applicant's race or ethnicity and sex for applications taken entirely by
telephone. However, as of January 1, 2003, lenders are required to ask applicants for race, ethnicity, and sex information in telephone
applications. For applications taken in person or by mail or electronic means (such as by facsimile or the Internet), a lender must request the
information. In all cases, an applicant has the option not to provide the information.
The incidence of applications and loans reported without data on race or ethnicity (based on whether information was missing for the first listed
applicant) grew from 1993 to 2001, then fell slightly from 2001 to 2002. From 1993 to 2001, the proportion of home loan applications of all types
with missing race or ethnicity data increased from about 8 percent to about 30 percent. However, this proportion fell to 28 percent in 2002. (Table
8). For home purchase loan applications, the proportion of applications missing race or ethnicity data is lower than the proportion for other
application types, but follows the same general pattern. Applications for home purchase loans lacking the information grew from about 4
percent in 1993 to about 18 percent in 2001, involving roughly 1.4 million loan applications. In 2002, the percentage of such applications fell to
15 percent, but involved roughly 1.1 million applications. The same pattern is observed for home purchase loans originated. In 1993, 3 percent
of such loans lacked information about race or ethnicity. By 2001, 13 percent lacked this information; in 2002, the proportion of home purchase
loans missing the information fell to 12 percent.
The increase in home purchase applications missing data on race and ethnicity is due in part to the increased proportion of all home purchase
loan applications reported by institutions specializing in manufactured home lending. (Data not shown in tables). These institutions frequently
use indirect methods for soliciting applications, which are often submitted without the race and ethnicity data. For example, preliminary
estimates for 2002 suggest that nearly 26 percent of the conventional home purchase loan applications filed by lenders specializing in
manufactured home lending did not include race or ethnicity data.4 For all other conventional home purchase loan applications in 2002, the
incidence of missing race and ethnicity data was 15 percent. Under revisions to HMDA effective January 1, 2004, loans for manufactured
homes will be distinguished in the HMDA data from loans for site-built homes.

Footnotes
1. The FFIEC has also compiled insurance data submitted by seven major private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies under the auspices of the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America. These data,
which relate to application decisions made by the PMI companies during 2002, show about 2.6 million applications for PMI (about 1.5 million for home purchase loans, and 1.1 million for refinancings).
These data are available from the individual companies, and-in the same formats as the HMDA data-at the central depositories and from the FFIEC.
2. These calculations are based on the list of lenders identified by HUD as manufactured home lending specialists in 2001, which was the most recent list available at the time of this publication.
3. A comparison of 2001 and 2002 loan application volumes reported by lenders identified by HUD as specializing in manufactured home lending reveals that most of the decline in reported application
activity among these lenders is associated with four reporters. Together, these four lenders reported nearly 706,000 fewer applications in 2002 than in 2001. Other evidence of contraction in the
manufactured home sector comes from industry statistics that indicate shipments of manufactured homes fell 12 percent from 2001 to 2002.
4. More precise estimates are not possible until HUD publishes a final list of lenders specializing in manufactured home lending for the year 2002. This information was not available at the time of this
publication. Preliminary estimates for 2002 were based on the 2001 HUD list of manufactured home lenders.

1. Before 1990, includes only loans originated by covered institutions; beginning in 1990 (first year under the
revised reporting system), includes loans originated and purchased, applications approved but not accepted by the
applicant, applications denied or withdrawn, and applications closed because information was incomplete.
2. Beginning with data for 1989, HMDA was amended to extend coverage to mortgage lending subsidiaries of bank
holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, and to savings and loan service corporations. Congress
expanded HMDA coverage effective beginning with data for 1990, to include most types of mortgage lenders, including
independent mortgage companies. Beginning with data for 1993, coverage of independent mortgage companies was
significantly increased by an amendment taking into account lending volume as well as asset size.
3. Revised from preliminary figures published in Glenn B. Canner and Dolores S. Smith, “Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act: Expanded Data on Residential Lending,” Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 77 (November 1991),
p. 861, to reflect corrections and the reporting of additional data.
4. First year since HMDA was enacted that the asset exemption threshold for coverage of depository institutions
was increased to account for the effects of inflation.

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
• Unless otherwise specified, reports using Census data are available beginning with 1990. Census data generally become available in the second
quarter of the current year, and data through calendar year 2003 are now available. Please refer to the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 4522016, 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 requested.
Census Information and Census Data on CD-ROM: This is the nationwide census data used as input to HMDA and CRA processing.
Beginning with 1996, this information combines HMDA and CRA data elements into one source. Data are distributed on cartridge tape or
CD-ROM. (Beginning with the release of 2004 Census data in the second quarter of 2004, distribution on cartridge tape will no longer be offered.)
A file description is included with each order. The CD-ROM, with software for the PC, contains the same data as the cartridge. It also includes
printable reports and an option to export data to spreadsheet or text formats. Four items previously listed on the order form, the Census Tract
Listing (Item #003), MA Median Family Income Listing (Item #004), Counties Located in Non-Metro Areas Listing (Item #004a), and
Census--Geography Only (Item #105), can be produced from the CD-ROM. Those interested in this data for years prior to 1999 should call the
HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016.
The charge for tape distribution is $250.00 (Item #104).
The charge for the CD-ROM is $10.00 (Item #303).
The 1980 census tracts were used in processing 1990 and 1991 HMDA data; 1990 census tracts were used for processing data for 1992 thru 2002
data; 1990 MA redefinitions were used beginning with 1994 HMDA data; 2000 census tracts were used for processing data for 2003 and
subsequent years. The census data distributed is consistent with the HMDA year specified. For example, if HMDA year 1991 is selected, 1980
census tract data with 1991 MA definitions are issued.

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 2002 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, MA, and/or institution requested.
• Charges for duplicate requests apply.

The FFIEC has contracted with the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (MICA) to compile data on mortgage insurance
applications for the nation's eight private mortgage insurance companies. (Beginning in 1999, there are seven companies.)
These data are available beginning with data for the fourth quarter of calendar year 1993 and for calendar years 1994 through
2002. 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); MA by MA 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 Aggregate and Disclosure Reports 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 the
mortgage insurers reporting HMDA data as agreed upon with the FFIEC.

Aggregate Report: This report is sorted by MA. For years prior to 1996, the report aggregates the mortgage and home improvement lending
information within an MA, where an institution has a home or branch office in that MA. For 1996 and years thereafter, the report aggregates the
mortgage and home improvement lending information within an MA, regardless of whether the institution has a home or branch office in that MA.
It is in the same format as the disclosure statement; however, individual institution’s data cannot be identified. The Aggregate Reports are
distributed in hardcopy only for years 1990 – 1996 at a cost of $50 for each MA requested (Item #002). Those interested in the Aggregate Reports
for years prior to 1997 should contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016. For 1997 and years thereafter, data are available via the
Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda. For an electronic version, see Item #302 below.
The Aggregate Reports are also available for MICA data, however, they are not available prior to 1993 (see above). Hardcopy reports are only
available for years 1993 – 1999 at a cost of $50. For 2000 and years thereafter, data are available via the Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda. Those
interested in the hardcopy version should contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016.
A Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting It Right: The Guide was developed to assist those who prepare the HMDA report for their institutions.
It also contains an executive summary for management officials that explain the responsibilities of institutions that are subject to HMDA. The
Guide 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 MA, 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 1998 edition of the HMDA Guide was the last time that it was completely rewritten and offered in paper format. A Guide Information Letter
that highlighted the major changes for a particular processing year was added to the FFIEC web site for each year from 1999 through 2002. The
1998 edition along with the appropriate year’s information letter were used for guidance on collection and reporting HMDA data. Thus, if you
must file HMDA data prior to calendar year 2003, the 1998 edition is available in paper format (Item #010) or from the web at
www.ffiec.gov/hmda.
The most recent edition of the HMDA Guide dated January 1, 2003 is only available via the web (www.ffiec.gov/hmda). It contains minor
differences from the 1998 edition and is to be used for collecting and processing calendar year 2003 data.

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 MAs in which
the institution has a home or branch office. The Disclosure Statement is distributed in hardcopy only for years 1990 - 1996 at a cost of $50.00 for
each institution requested (Item #001). Those interested in the Disclosure Statement for years prior to 1997 should contact the HMDA Assistance
Line at (202) 452-2016. For an electronic version, see Item #302 below. For 1997 and years thereafter, data are available via the Internet at
www.ffiec.gov/hmda.
The Disclosure Statements are also available for MICA data, however, they are not available prior to 1993 (see page 10). Hardcopy reports are
only available for years 1993 – 1999 at a cost of $50. For 2000 and years thereafter, data are available via the Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda.
Those interested in the hardcopy version should contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016.

Loan Application Register (LAR) and Transmittal Sheet (TS) Raw 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. The 2002 LARs data total over 31 million records and 7,771 TSs. The following should be noted:
•

Data are not certified as error free.

•

For reasons of privacy, the two date fields and loan application numbers are omitted from each record.

•

To form a unique identifier for an 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 cartridge at a cost of $500.00 (Item #102). File specifications are included with each order. If cartridges are
ordered, there are several cartridges containing the LAR data and one containing the TS data. (The number of cartridges containing LAR data vary
according to the year requested because of the volume of data.) Note that cartridges containing LAR data are multi-volume datasets. This means
that to process ALL of the LAR data, each of the 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 DOS-based 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 cartridge is included on the CD-ROM. However, if you wish to order all of the reporter panel data elements on cartridge 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 MA, 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 cartridge (see page 10).
Aggregate and Disclosure Reports on CD-ROM: The Aggregate Reports and individual lender Disclosure Statements for each MA are
available on CD-ROM at a cost of $10.00 for the entire nation. (Item #302)
The HMDA Aggregate and Disclosure Reports Software System moved from a DOS-based to a Windows-based application as of 1996.
The Software allows the user to search an institution's individual disclosure statement by MA, or a specific table on the MA aggregate report.
Printing these records requires a printer featured for 166 character output.
The Aggregate and Disclosure Reports on CD-ROM are also available for MICA data. These data are not available prior to 1994 (see page 10).

MA by MA Report on the Disposition of Applications by Race and Income of Each Applicant: This report contains one table for each of the
MAs. 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 MA, where an institution has a home or branch office in that MA. For 1996 and years thereafter, it provides the number and percentage
of applications denied by the race and income of the applicants within the MA, regardless of whether the institution has a home or branch office in
that MA. 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).
National Aggregate Reports: These reports are a nationwide summation of the individual MA Aggregate Reports. They indicate the number and
dollar amounts of lending, cross tabulated by loan, applicant, and geographic characteristics. For 1997 and years thereafter, data are available on
the Internet at www.ffiec.gov/hmda. They are distributed in hardcopy for years 1990 – 1996 at a cost of $50.00 (Item #005). Those interested in
the hardcopy version of the National Aggregates should contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202) 452-2016.
The National Aggregate Reports are also available for MICA data; however, they are not available prior to 1993 (see page 10). Hardcopy reports
are only available for years 1993 – 1999 at a cost of $50.00. For 2000 and years thereafter, data are available via the Internet at
www.ffiec.gov/hmda. Those interested in the hardcopy version of the National Aggregates should contact the HMDA Assistance Line at (202)
452-2016.
Reporter Directory: This is a hardcopy of all HMDA reporters within a specified MA, sorted by name of reporter and then by state and county
codes. The charge for non-profit organizations is $45 per requested MA and $75 per MA for all others. (Item #007) 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

Reporter Panel: This 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 MA 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 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. These data are not available prior to 1994 (see page 10).
