Tableau and whatnot – Trupp

Here is my table showing the rejection rate for all races and genders: TruppTableau2

Questions from Ginny Monk: 1. Why are Asians granted loans at the highest rate? 2. Can we get credit scores divided by race for Northwest Arkansas? The second question is pretty unique and thoughtful and should be looked into.

My questions: Which banks accept and deny the most home loan applications? Are they limited to local, smaller banks, such as the Bank of Fayetteville, or are they a part of national banks, such as Bank of America? Who is in charge of denying loans at these banks – do you suppose races are being stereotyped in the decision?

    Good start on the chart. Use the colors! There is such powerful functionality with the colors.

    Good questions regarding the banks. We will start looking at them soon.
