The Home Mortgage Explorer is a data tool developed by the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Cleveland. The tool draws from publicly available Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data and enables users to explore trends in mortgage lending between 2010 and 2015 for the United States as a whole, or by states and metropolitan and nonmetro areas. Trends can be examined by loan purpose (such as home purchase versus refinance) and loan type (such as conventional versus Federal Housing Administration). All measures are provided by applicant and neighborhood income.
