Common questions
What the analysis can and cannot tell you.
Why use Census data with HMDA?
HMDA describes people who entered the mortgage application process. Census data describes the broader population and housing market, including households that may not appear in mortgage records.
Can this analysis identify individual borrowers?
No. The use case is designed for aggregated market, borrower-segment and community analysis, with appropriate privacy and reporting controls.
Is borrower and community analysis the same as fair lending review?
It can support fair lending monitoring and market context. Formal compliance conclusions require appropriate methodology, internal data and legal or compliance judgment.

Choose an audience, understand its market and give MLOs, partners and leadership a shared local plan.
