Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Announces Availability of 2015 Data on Mortgage Lending

September 29, 2016 RATA Associates 9 min read

Archive note. What follows is the FFIEC’s own announcement of the 2015 HMDA data, reproduced here as it was issued in 2016. Every figure in it is the FFIEC’s, not RATA’s. One thing worth carrying forward if you are working with this vintage today: as the release states below, the 2015 data use the census tract delineations and the 2006–2010 American Community Survey data from the 2010 Census. Comparing that year against a recent filing year therefore crosses a census boundary change, which is the same caution the release raises and the reason tract-level comparisons across vintages need care.

August 18, 2016 RATA Associates 2 min read

Archive note. This reproduces the joint announcement issued by the Federal Reserve, FDIC and OCC in 2016 on the availability of 2015 CRA small business, small farm and community development lending data. It is kept as a dated record; the figures and links are the agencies’, not RATA’s. For CRA reporting in the current cycle, see Comply HMDA/CRA/SBL. The three federal banking agency members of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) with Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) responsibilities — the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — announced today the availability of data on small business, small farm, and community development lending reported by…
