The Home Mortgage Explorer

04.22.19

With millions of records, publicly available Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data can be daunting to navigate. The Home Mortgage Explorer does the work for you. Developed by the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Cleveland, this data tool allows users to more easily explore trends in mortgage lending between 2010 and 2017 for the U.S., states, metropolitan, and non-metropolitan areas. Trends can be examined by loan purpose (e.g., home purchase vs. refinance) and loan type (e.g., conventional mortgages vs. FHA), and all measures are provided by applicant and neighborhood income.

    Saeed Zaman

    This Commentary builds on recent research separating the components of overall inflation into cyclical and acyclical categories, but it does so at a finer level of disaggregation than previous analyses to understand recent inflation developments in the two categories. The inflation rate among cyclically sensitive subcomponents, which comprise roughly 40 percent of overall core PCE inflation, has generally continued to firm in recent years in line with a strengthening labor market and has returned to near pre-Great Recession levels. By contrast, the inflation rate among the acyclical subcomponents remains subdued. A modest firming in acyclical core PCE inflation to a more normal level, combined with ongoing strength in the labor market, would be enough to return core PCE inflation to 2 percent within approximately one year.
