Mortgage Statistics Technical Notes
The NMDB
®
is a de-identified loan-level database of closed-end first-lien residential mortgages. It is
representative of the residential mortgage market as a whole; contains detailed, loan-level information on
the terms and performance of residential mortgages, as well as characteristics of the associated borrowers
and properties; and is continually updated. The core data in NMDB represent a statistically valid 1-in-20
random sample of all closed-end, first-lien mortgages active since January 1998 and reported to one of the
three national credit bureaus.
1
A complete description of the NMDB is available in the NMDB Technical
Documentation at www.fhfa.gov/nmdbdata.
1
While the NMDB provides an excellent and comprehensive representation of mortgages for owner-occupied and
site-built homes, investor mortgages and mortgages for manufactured homes are not as well represented. This is
because mortgages taken out by non-persons are not reported to the credit bureaus by servicers and loans for
manufactured homes are not well-defined in the credit bureau reporting standards.
4
When the NMDB program began, an initial sample was drawn from all mortgage files outstanding at any
point from January 1998 through June 2012. Since then, the sample has been updated on a quarterly basis
with mortgages newly reported to Experian. Mortgages (and their borrowers) are tracked in NMDB from
at least one year prior to origination to one year after termination of the mortgage, whether that
termination is through prepayment, adverse termination, or maturity.
The sample used is large enough to support almost all types of statistically valid analyses but small
enough to manage logistically, thus dramatically reducing both contract and personnel costs. The
restriction of the NMDB frame to closed-end loans was made for two reasons. First, it mimics the
reporting requirements of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and second, it reflects the
practical fact that administrative data, which is a critical input for the NMDB data, is available for very
few open-ended loans.
To make core statistics available to the general public, FHFA is producing a series of aggregated data
files. These files contain statistics aggregated by year, quarter, and month. State level data are available in
the annual data files. Nationwide, Census Region and Census Division aggregates are available in all
three time dimension aggregations. The aggregated statistics are also provided for various submarkets in
addition to the single-family mortgage market as a whole. The defined submarkets are shown in Figure 1
and described in Appendix A. Information on the geographic areas included in the datasets is provided in
Appendix E.

mortgages reported to one of three major credit bureaus. The NMDB is a 5% sample and not a census of the mortgage universe.
**Government loans includes loans issued by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the
Rural Housing Rural Housing Service (RHS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Since the NMDB is based on a 5 percent sample, aggregated data in small cells are not statistically
reliable. Also, there may be privacy concerns when statistics are based on few observations. Therefore,
aggregated statistics are suppressed when they are based on fewer than 3 loans. Suppressed data are
indicated by the SUPPRESSED field.
New Residential Mortgage Statistics
New originations are mortgage loans that are initially funded, as determined by the account opening date.
They are categorized as home purchase (purchase money) mortgages or refinance mortgages. These
datasets include two analysis variables, VALUE1 and VALUE2. VALUE1 statistics are weighted based
on mortgage counts, where each sample mortgage represents 20 actual mortgages. VALUE2 statistics are
weighted by the origination loan amount of the mortgage.
Appendix B describes the set of aggregate statistics produced for new originations.

Outstanding Residential Mortgage Statistics
Outstanding mortgage statistics are a stock measure of active mortgages taken at the end of each calendar
quarter when the NMDB is updated. Current active mortgages are equal to previous active mortgages
plus new originations less mortgages that are paid off or otherwise terminated. These datasets include two
analysis variables, VALUE1 and VALUE2. VALUE1 statistics are weighted based on mortgage counts,
where each sample mortgage represents 20 actual mortgages. VALUE2 statistics are weighted by the
amount of each mortgage’s unpaid principal balance (UPB) at the end of the indicated quarter.

Residential Mortgage Performance Statistics
The NMDB data show three mutually exclusive performance categories: a) 30 or 60 days past due date, b)
90 to 180 days past due date, and c) in the process of foreclosure, bankruptcy, or deed-in-lieu. The data
reflect performance in the last month of each quarter. In addition, a new series has been added to provide
6
the forbearance rate beginning with the fourth quarter of 2019. Performance and forbearance rates are
calculated on only active loans starting the quarter after origination to the quarter before termination.
2
The NMDB Mortgage Performance Statistics show the payment past due status of a representative sample
of first lien closed-end mortgages as reported in consumers’ credit reports. Servicers and lenders
generally report loan payment status only once a month. However, past due status as legally reported to
the credit bureau is determined strictly by the number of calendar days that a payment is past due, e.g., 30,
60, 90, etc. For example, in a credit report, a missed April (first of the month) payment after a prompt
March payment does not appear as 30 days past due until May 2nd and thus will not be reflected in
servicer reports before that date. The CARES Act, passed March 28, 2020, presents another reporting
issue. Under the CARES Act, when forbearance is granted to current loans, they must be subsequently
reported as current regardless of whether or not payments are made. Finally, although most servicers
report loan performance monthly (about 97 percent) a small number do not. This can happen because
loans are in dispute, the servicer only reports on a quarterly basis, or for some seriously past due loans
there is no change in status. The NMDB statistics accommodate this issue with a “stale account rule”
similar to those embedded in credit scores. Monthly statistics reflect the most recent report status for a
loan within three months even when it is not reported in the current month. The most recent report within
24 months is used for mortgages 180 days or more past due and mortgages in the process of foreclosure,
bankruptcy, or deed-in-lieu.
These factors mean that the monthly NMDB statistics may not strictly align with other performance
metrics which determine past due status on a monthly basis, treat non-payments for loans under
forbearance differently or use different stale account rules. Historically, lenders have granted forbearance
to loans in areas hit by natural disasters. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, for example, loans in
Louisiana showed no increase in delinquency despite the fact that many borrowers were not making
payments. Also, in rare cases, the foreclosure process can be drawn out longer than two years in states
with judicial foreclosure rules like New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida, and particularly during the
mortgage crisis. In these cases, the two-year stale account rule could actually reduce delinquency
measures.
Due to the time lag in the reporting of new mortgages to the credit bureaus (up to 6 months), performance
statistics reported in the latest two quarters should be treated as preliminary estimates that may be revised
in the future as the reporting gap closes. Generally, initial estimates of delinquency and forbearance are
higher than the revised numbers. During periods of higher-than-normal origination activity in the
mortgage market, the effect of the reporting lag could be more acute.
The following data sets providing aggregate statistics on mortgage performance are available on the
FHFA website:
https://www.fhfa.gov/DataTools/Downloads/Pages/National-Mortgage-Database-
Aggregate-Data.aspx (See Appendix B for descriptions of series elements and other definitions and
notes.)

Active loans are loans that are not closed or terminated for which there exists performance data. Termination
means the trade line is closed, whether through a mortgage refinance or the balance was otherwise paid off or
settled. The NMDB is based on a 5 percent nationally representative sample of first-lien, closed-end mortgages
reported to one of the three major credit bureaus. While the NMDB provides an excellent and comprehensive
representation of mortgages for owner-occupied and site-built homes, investor mortgages and mortgages for
manufactured homes are not as well represented because mortgages taken out by non-persons are not reported to the
credit bureaus and loans for manufactured homes are not well-defined in reporting to the credit bureaus.

*First-time homebuyer is determined by reviewing the credit data of every borrower for prior mortgages. When no prior mortgage is found
for the borrower, that borrower is defined as a first-time homebuyer. If any borrower associated with a loan is a first-time homebuyer, that
loan is defined as a first-time homebuyer loan.
**Cashout refinance is defined as when the new first lien amount plus any second lien amounts is more than five percent above the
previous first and second liens’ Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB), at the time of the refinance, added together.

Residential Mortgage Performance Statistics Notes
Notes
Descriptions
Active Loans
Mortgage loans that are not closed or terminated for which there
exists performance data.
Loans Recently Originated
It may take months for newly originated loans to appear in the credit
history. Even though the performance classification is missing, these
loans are treated as current until a valid performance code is found
and are included in the denominator.
Timing of Reported Loan
Performance
Application of Metro2® credit bureau reporting guidelines can affect
the timing of the reporting of loan performance status, particularly for
those servicers that report at the end of a calendar month.
Credit History Suppression
Credit history of an individual is suppressed when the individual
disputes his or her credit report. Credit histories of individuals affected
by federally declared natural disasters are also suppressed in the
affected regions and time periods.
Credit Purge Seven Years
After Default
Per Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) rules, credit history of a loan is
purged seven years after the loan first goes into default. To create the
historical NMDB, two credit bureau archives were used: the first
archive was obtained at the end of December 2005, and the second
archive was obtained six and half years later at the end of June 2012.
Reconciliation of the two archives was done carefully. However, as a
result of the FCRA rules, a number of loans that were in a state of past
due at the end of 2005 had been purged from the credit bureau data in
the June 2012 archive. Through a limited matching of loan records to
intermediate archives, the dissolution of many of these loans were
resolved. However, NMDB has some undercounting of seriously past
due loans from 2006 to 2012, but the undercounting diminishes the
closer the time period is to the end of 2012.

Days Past Due
The percent days past due in the Table tab reflect what a person sees
when they request a credit report. The days past due follow the Metro
2® credit bureau reporting guidelines, such that loans are classified as
current or past due 29 or fewer days; 30 to 59 days past due; 60 to 89
days past due; 90 to 119 days past due; 120 to 149 days past due; 150
to 179 days past due; and 180 or more days past due. For more
information on alternative measures of mortgage performance, see
National Mortgage Database Technical Report 1.2
, October 30, 2017.
Stale Account Rule
For loan performance and forbearance status beginning 2012, a three-
month stale account rule is used, i.e., if a quarter-ending performance
code is missing, the stale account rule requires looking back month by
month up to two months until an actual performance code is recorded
and that performance code is applied to the current month. For loan
performance prior to 2012, a six-month stale account rule is used.
Additionally, a 24-month rule is applied to loans that are 180 or more
days past due or in the process of foreclosure, bankruptcy, or deed in
lieu.
Reporting Lag and Rapidly
Changing Mortgage
Volumes
Due to the time lag in the reporting of new mortgages to the credit
bureaus (up to 6 months), performance statistics reported in the latest
two quarters should be treated as preliminary estimates that may be
revised in the future as the reporting gap closes. Generally initial
estimates of delinquency are higher than the revised numbers. During
periods of higher-than-normal origination activity in the mortgage
market, the effect of the reporting lag could be more acute.

This includes: (1) a census tract outside of a metropolitan statistical area, as designated by the Office of
Management and Budget; or (2) a census tract in a metropolitan statistical area, as designated by the Office of
Management and Budget, that is outside of the metropolitan statistical area's Urbanized Areas as designated by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural-Urban Commuting Area Code #1, and outside of tracts with a housing
density of over 64 housing units per square mile for USDA's RUCA Code #2. Effective July 1, 2023, amendments
to the Duty to Serve regulation modify the definition of "rural area" to include all "colonia census tracts" that would
not otherwise satisfy the definition. Refer to:
