Mortgage methodology
HMDA is natively reported at tract and other lender-reporting geographies, not Zillow neighborhood or ZIP geography.
This module uses the certified NDS HMDA-to-Zillow tract-vintage crosswalk and area-weighted allocation.
Rankings require governed geometry coverage. Applicant demographics are excluded.
Neighborhood values may overlap and must not be summed to reconstruct ZIP or national totals.
