2021 HMDA Peer Data Official Release is Available
The CFPB has released the official 2021 national HMDA peer data as of June 16th. RATA downloaded the data and quickly formatted it for use in the Comply software, making sure to match all Institution IDs with the preliminary data that was released on March 29th. By ensuring that the Institution IDs align with one another between these sets of data, all Peer Institution Groups created with the preliminary data will continue to work the same as before. It is the CFPB's intent to potentially release updates to the 2021 HMDA data based upon re-submissions, late submissions etc. and we intend to review the extent of any changes periodically to see if updates are warranted. To download the data for use in Comply, simply log on to the support site (https://support.rataassociates.com) and go to
RATA Releases NON-OFFICIAL 2021 HMDA Peer Data
As stated in the previous article (below), we have downloaded the individual 2021 Modified LAR data from the CFPB, combined it, reformatted it and merged it with last year's transmittal data for searchability. We have tested to make sure the numbers look reasonable and believe them to be correct for now, but there are normally resubmissions and changes to the "official" data that is usually released by the CFPB in June. This data can be downloaded from the RATA Support Site. Note to RHS Users: There is no action that needs to be taken on your RHS system. The temporary peer data is available in RATA Hosted Services (RHS). Important: There was an increase in the HMDA volume this year and there are now over 26 million applications and the data and will be over 16G added to your Comply
