What this does not say: HMDA contains no credit scores. These are observed aggregates and partly reflect applicant mix, channel and documentation practices — not proof of misconduct, and not a prediction for any individual application. We never recommend lenders and no lender pays us.
Does it stay this way?
Nationally, yes. Across 2018–2025, 80.8% of the variance in large-lender denial rates sits between lenders rather than within them, and the most lenient large lender was the same institution in seven of eight years. Persistent Doors (SSRN)
