Source: [HMDA, FFIEC/CFPB, 2025](https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-publication/snapshot-national-loan-level-dataset/2025). Counts describe the company, not any one loan officer. Only lenders above the HMDA reporting thresholds file, and LenDb has matched about 70% of HMDA loan volume to lenders it lists, so a lender without HMDA data here may still make these loans.
