Home mortgage lending by the numbers

Robert B. Avery, Patricia E. Beeson and Mark S. Sniderman

Economic Commentary, 1993, issue Feb

Abstract: A look at some of the issues associated with reports that minority applicants for home mortgage loans are far more likely than whites to be denied credit. The authors raise the concern that simple comparisons of denial rates are not sufficient for grasping the complexities surrounding community-oriented lending.
