# Atlas Commons research objects — banking & mortgage lending for New Mexico

New Mexico'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

### 170 FDIC-insured institutions (29 active) are recorded in New Mexico

**RECORDED.** FDIC BankFind records 170 FDIC-insured institutions historically associated with New Mexico, of which 29 are currently active. A re-tally of FDIC records.

Source: FDIC BankFind — https://banks.data.fdic.gov/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from FDIC BankFind; superseded when FDIC BankFind publishes its next release.

### FDIC institution counts by bank class in New Mexico: NM 65, N 49, SL 27, SB 20, SM 9

**RECORDED.** Counts of institutions by FDIC bank class: NM 65, N 49, SL 27, SB 20, SM 9. A count per FDIC-defined class.

Source: FDIC BankFind — https://banks.data.fdic.gov/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from FDIC BankFind; superseded when FDIC BankFind publishes its next release.

### 36,442 mortgages totaling $9.0B were originated in New Mexico (2024, HMDA)

**RECORDED.** HMDA records 36,442 originated mortgages totaling $9,013,340,000 in New Mexico for 2024. A re-tally of reported loan originations.

Source: FFIEC HMDA (2024) — https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-browser/data/2024?category=states&items=NM
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from FFIEC HMDA (2024); superseded when FFIEC HMDA (2024) publishes its next release.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 New Mexico (2024) is 26.97% (White 23.46%, Black 30.26%)

**RECORDED.** The HMDA-reported mortgage application denial rate for New Mexico in 2024 is 26.97%, by applicant race: White 23.46%, Black 30.26%. 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=NM
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 1.29× as often as White applicants in New Mexico (2024) — a raw derived ratio

**DERIVED.** Dividing the Black denial rate (30.26%) by the White denial rate (23.46%) gives a raw disparity of 1.290× in New Mexico 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=NM
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a constructed ratio, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's calculation, NOT an FFIEC/CFPB finding of discrimination). Reproduce: 30.26% ÷ 23.46% = 1.290×. 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 New Mexico (2024) is $247,334 — a computed mean

**DERIVED.** Dividing total origination volume by the originated count yields a mean loan size of $247,334 in New Mexico 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=NM
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 New Mexico (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** The figures above describe FDIC-insured institutions and HMDA-reported mortgage lending for New Mexico. 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. Structured: `https://finance-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/finance/states/nm.jsonld`
