Where does this data come from?

CFPB HMDA loan-level data for 2025, filtered to site-built, one-unit, owner-occupied purchase loans in Virginia, counting originations and denials by lender, program and the DTI band the lender used.

Source and filters

CFPB HMDA Loan/Application Register, activity year 2025, pulled through the HMDA Data Browser API. Home purchase, principal residence, one unit, site-built, first lien; not reverse, business-purpose or open-end. Actions counted: originated and denied. Manufactured-home lending excluded. Lender names are the respondent names in each lender's HMDA institution record; lender type is assigned from the name; the builder tag is applied to mortgage companies owned by home builders.

How to read the columns

Approved is originations divided by originations plus denials among files whose decision used a DTI in the band. 'At ≤43%' is the same lender's rate on ordinary files; a large gap is the signature of a wall. 'Denials citing DTI' is the share of the lender's denials in the band where the ratio was the first reason given.

Corrections

Every number traces to the lender's own filing. If a lender believes a row is wrong, write to us and we will re-run it.
