We unlock what others can't
Every loan application, every approval, every denial is public record. We make it searchable, comparable, and actionable.
Clear data lineage=trustworthy insights
Unlike black-box analytics, we show you exactly where every number comes from.
We believe transparency improves outcomes
When lenders can see exactly how their decisions impact communities, they make better and more confident decisions.
We teach while we show
Data literacy is not optional anymore. We teach you about the data sources, the metrics, the housing finance industry, so you get better at asking the right questions.
The backbone of reliable insights
At Polygon Research, we harness the power of open data to deliver a single source of truth for the housing finance industry. By modeling vast, transparent datasets, we provide a clear and comprehensive view of market trends, lending practices, and borrower behavior. Open data is inherently large and complex, but we make it simple—turning complexity into clarity with careful, consistent modeling.
Scale you can trust
We’ve modeled millions of detailed application-level transactions and billions of mortgage originations, offering deep insights into market intelligence, fair lending, and trend forecasting.
Diverse, Trusted Sources
Our data draws from HMDA, RMBS, HUD, Census, NMLS, Federal Reserve, and market data, ensuring a holistic and reliable perspective.
Tools that actually get used
Self-service platform + expert support when you need it
