HMDA & Multi-family Dwellings
Answer by Todd Cooper, EVP CRA Products, PCi Corporation

Question: Is a 2-story townhouse building considered 1-4 family or multifamily for the purpose of HMDA?

Answer: For 2003 data reporting, the purpose code for multi-family should only be used on loan applications for dwellings with five or more families. A loan application on a townhouse with two family units, should be reported with 1 (home purchase,) 2 (home improvement,) or 3 (refinancing) purpose code.

For 2004 data reporting, property type (one of the new 2004 variables) for multi-family should only be used on loan applications for dwellings with five or more families. A loan application on a townhouse with two family units, should be reported with a property type code of 1 (one to four-family.)
