--- title: Atlas Commons research objects — banking & mortgage lending for Georgia license: CC0-1.0 source: FDIC BankFind --- # Atlas Commons research objects — banking & mortgage lending for Georgia Georgia's banking and mortgage-lending from FDIC BankFind + FFIEC HMDA, with each figure's status labeled: the FDIC institution counts, HMDA origination volumes, and HMDA-published demographic denial rates are measured facts; the computed ratios — the RAW Black/White denial disparity and the mean loan size — are in-house calculations, and the disparity is NOT risk-adjusted and NOT a finding of discrimination (its falsifier says so plainly); the boundary note is context. The raw disparity is labeled computed, never an official fact — that distinction is the whole point of this surface. Source: FDIC BankFind + FFIEC HMDA. CC0. ## Claims ### 922 FDIC-insured institutions (124 active) are recorded in Georgia **RECORDED.** FDIC BankFind records 922 FDIC-insured institutions historically associated with Georgia, of which 124 are currently active. A re-tally of FDIC records.

A count per FDIC-defined class.

A re-tally of reported loan originations. Source: FFIEC HMDA (2024) — https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2024?category=states&items=GA Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from FFIEC HMDA (2024); superseded when FFIEC HMDA (2024) publishes its next release. ### HMDA mortgage denial rate in Georgia (2024) is 28.00% (White 22.58%, Black 37.85%) **RECORDED.** The HMDA-reported mortgage application denial rate for Georgia in 2024 is 28.00%, by applicant race: White 22.58%, Black 37.85%. FFIEC publishes these demographic denial rates from reported loan records. Source: FFIEC HMDA (2024) — https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2024?category=states&items=GA Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from FFIEC HMDA (2024); superseded when FFIEC HMDA (2024) publishes its next release. ### Black applicants were denied mortgages 1.68× as often as White applicants in Georgia (2024) — a raw derived ratio **DERIVED.** Dividing the Black denial rate (37.85%) by the White denial rate (22.58%) gives a raw disparity of 1.676× in Georgia for 2024. This is a RAW ratio of two published rates — it is NOT risk-adjusted for income, credit history, loan-to-value, or property, and FFIEC does not publish it as a finding. Source: Finance Atlas — derived disparity ratio (Black denial rate ÷ White denial rate, both HMDA) — https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2024?category=states&items=GA Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a constructed ratio, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's calculation, NOT an FFIEC/CFPB finding of discrimination). Reproduce: 37.85% ÷ 22.58% = 1.676×. CRUCIAL SCOPE: a raw denial-rate gap is NOT evidence of illegal discrimination — it does not control for income, credit, LTV, or loan type; a fair-lending conclusion requires a controlled analysis this ratio does not perform. ### Average originated mortgage size in Georgia (2024) is $312,597 — a computed mean **DERIVED.** Dividing total origination volume by the originated count yields a mean loan size of $312,597 in Georgia for 2024. A computed mean, not a published HMDA figure. Source: Finance Atlas — derived mean (origination volume ÷ originated count, HMDA) — https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2024?category=states&items=GA Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above. ### What these finance figures are — and are NOT — for Georgia (the epistemic boundary) **INTERPRETATION.** The figures above describe FDIC-insured institutions and HMDA-reported mortgage lending for Georgia. They are NOT a verdict on any lender, NOT evidence of illegal discrimination (the denial disparity is a raw, unadjusted ratio), and NOT advice on your own loan. If you believe you faced lending discrimination, file with the CFPB (consumerfinance.gov/complaint) or find a HUD-approved counselor; for the underlying records, use the FFIEC HMDA data browser and FDIC BankFind. Source: Finance Atlas framing (over the FDIC/HMDA facts above) — https://finance-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/ Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not an FFIEC/FDIC verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The figures above are FDIC/HMDA records plus two disclosed derived ratios; the four-status labels each, and this is the only interpretation. --- Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact.
