What is HMDA?

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requires every U.S. mortgage lender to report every application — outcome, amount, and denial reason — to federal regulators annually. It is government-verified, covers all lenders equally, and cannot be gamed. These tables are processed directly from that record.

Who pays for this?

Nobody. No lender pays to appear or improve its position; no ads, no referral fees, no lead sales. FinanceRateCalc is not a lender and does not compete with the institutions it measures. Rates reflect applicant mix and channel as well as underwriting appetite — a high rate is not an accusation, and a low one is not advice. Compare nationally: the top-100 table · the 15-market door map · all 52 states ranked · why each lender says no.

Reading note: lender-level denial rates describe tendencies in the observed record, not rules — individual outcomes vary with each file. Rankings can also shift with denominator choices (which application outcomes are counted); FRC's rule is published in full in the methodology, so every figure here is reproducible from the raw federal file.
