Minorities get more 'high cost' loans

A disproportionately large percentage of mortgages made to blacks and Hispanics last year met the government's definition of "high cost" loans, a new study said.
The report, released Thursday at an industry conference in Arlington Va., analyzed nationwide mortgage data for 2006 and reached conclusions similar to those of another study published by the Federal Reserve last month.
Advocacy groups say mortgage discrimination has contributed to the current crisis in lending to borrowers with weak, or subprime, credit, in which a growing number of families are losing their homes.
The study, sponsored by Richmond, Va.-based mortgage insurer Genworth Financial, concluded that 48 percent of home loans given to blacks and nearly 42 percent of loans given to Hispanics last year met the government's definition of "high-cost "loans. That compares with 18 percent for whites and more than 24 percent for the overall population.
The analysis, which excludes refinances and second mortgages, uses the Federal Reserve's definition of high-cost loans: mortgages whose rates are at least 3 percentage points above comparable Treasury securities, a category that includes most subprime loans given to people with weak credit records.
Subprime lending among blacks nearly doubled from 2004 to 2005, and it more than doubled among Hispanics, according to data from the study.
"Some of those consumers could have been in prime loans with lower interest rates if they had been given the proper education about their options," said Lori Jones Gibbs, vice president for affordable housing industry affairs at Genworth.
Consumer advocates say low-income borrowers and minorities are intentionally steered by unscrupulous lenders toward subprime loans. But Jones Gibbs instead stressed that consumer education is crucial for borrowers.
Total lending dropped nearly 12 percent in 2006 from a year earlier as the housing boom ended, the study found. Even as that happened, the number of home loans to blacks actually grew by 0.6 percent, while loans to Hispanics fell by more than 5 percent.
The Mortgage Bankers Association couldn't be reached for comment on the study, but mortgage lenders generally say they examining borrowers' debt levels and the amount of money they can provide as a down payment, rather than race.
