The fast growth of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA NHPI) population in the US presents an opportunity for data collection and analysis to highlight the unique needs of the many racial and ethnic subgroups composing the AA NHPI community and for policies and programs to recognize and address their distinct cultures and experiences.


In honor of AA NHPI Heritage Month, the Urban Institute is showcasing a series of insights and analyses highlighting the pressing need for data disaggregation, strategies to improve access to social services and address inequities, and understanding of the housing landscape for AA NHPI communities across the US.

Asian Americans face systemic higher mortgage denial rates despite having stronger credit profiles
In 2019, Asian mortgage applicants had a higher denial rate (8.7 percent) than white applicants (6.7 percent), despite having higher average credit scores and incomes. Failing to address this denial gap will keep more Asian potential homebuyers from homeownership.
