Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.get_lender_denial_statsFHA denial statistics for one lender by name, slug, or LEI: actual denial rate, peer-median comparison, mix-adjusted expected rate. Top-100 FHA lenders by volume are covered. Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.list_lendersList covered FHA lenders sorted by denial rate (highest/lowest) or volume. Useful to see how widely the same federal program is applied across doors (2025 span: 1.8% to 78.7%). Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender.

Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender.

Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2).
