Methodology & Disclosures

Credit Decision Denominator Rule: Approval and denial rates are calculated strictly among actionable applications reaching a formal credit underwriting decision (Actions 1, 2, and 3: loan originated, approved but not accepted, denied). Applications withdrawn by borrower (Action 4) and closed for incompleteness (Action 5) are tracked in the broader Consumer Mortgage Universe for market completeness but excluded from credit decision rates as no underwriting decision occurred.

Official Data Source & Freeze Date: Official Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) records published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Primary analysis uses the 2025 Snapshot National Loan-Level Dataset (frozen June 2, 2026); historical baseline uses the 2024 One-Year National Loan-Level Dataset (frozen June 2, 2026).

Public Interest Commitment: OpenFileData does not sell mortgage leads, lender placements, paid rankings, or individualized mortgage recommendations.
