The CFPB has announced that Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) Modified Loan Application Register (LAR) data for 2024 are now available on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (FFIEC) HMDA Platform for about 4,898 HMDA filers.
The data published contains loan-level information filed by financial institutions and modified to protect consumer privacy.
For increased access to the public, the annual loan-level LAR data for each HMDA filer are available online. In the past, users could only obtain LAR data by making requests to specific institutions for their annual data.
To allow for easier public access to all LAR data, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s 2015 HMDA rule made the data for each HMDA filer available electronically on the FFIEC’s HMDA Platform.
Additionally, for institution-specific modified LAR files, users can download one combined file that contains all institutions’ modified LAR data.
HMDA users also may find the CFPB’s Beginner’s Guide to Accessing and Using HMDA Data useful for background on HMDA and tech tips for understanding and analyzing the data.
The 2024 HMDA Loan Application Register data can be found on the FFIEC’s HMDA Platform, here.
