HMDA Definitions of Ethnicity

Answered by:

Question:

Do you have the HMDA Definitions of Ethnicity? (How to define if a person is White, Asian, etc.)

Answer:

The St. Louis FRB posted the OMB's definitions - http://www.stlouisfed.org/hmdaregcamendments/pages/race.html. It is interesting to note that Osama Bin Laden is considered to be "white" based on these definitions.
