Updated Data

Local Median Income as a share of Area Median Income (Low Mod) has been updated with the current ACS and HUD data.

This data shows local Median Household Income (MHI) from the American Community Survey (ACS) (2019-2023) as a percentage of either the HUD-defined Area Median Income (AMI) for metro areas (2023) or the non-metro state AMI (2023) for areas outside Census-defined metro regions. The map categorizes income levels using ACS MHI data and compares it to HUD AMI benchmarks for metro and non-metro areas.

Updated Data

The FFIEC HMDA (Home Mortgage and Disclosure Act) data has been updated to 2023. However, this update also includes a small refresh of our historic data to ensure that this dataset will be easier to maintain going forward. We now only show data starting in 2007 since that is the earliest date the FFIEC has data available online. 

The other key difference is that previous variables that related to prime and high cost/subprime mortgages were divided into two variables divided by time: prior to the 3rd quarter in 2009 and afterward. This reflected a major definition date during 2009Q3. Prior to this date high cost was defined as >= 3 times the APOR and thereafter as 1.5 times the APOR. These variables are now combined to allow for easier use of the data so a user will only see one variable instead of two for each of these categories.

Caution should be made when comparing these variables after the definition change in 2009. Users will see that percent change variables will be missing for any variables that include this definition and span this definition change.
