Derived Fields Categorization 2018 Onward
This wiki explains how ethnicity, race, sex, and confirming loan limit derived fields are categorized.
-
If Applicant or Co-Applicant Ethnicity: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 is 11, 12, 13, and/or 14, then the Applicant Ethnicity in that field is aggregated to Hispanic or Latino (Any code beginning in 1 is aggregated to Hispanic or Latino).
-
Disaggregated applicant and co-applicant ethnicities are aggregated up and counted only once (i.e. reporting three different Hispanic subcategories still just rolls up to Hispanic and is counted only once).

There are 4 possible values included in the conforming loan limit flag field. FHFA periodically updates conforming loan limits, so this logic will need to be updated in future years when the conforming loan limits change.
- C (Conforming)
- NC (Nonconforming)
- U (Undetermined)
- NA (Not Applicable)
Logic to determine which value (these should be completed in the order listed):
A. The steps below do not require referencing outside data & can be determined using just the information in the LAR record.
- If Total Units >= 5, assign a value of NA
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 1, and Loan Amount is <= $453,100.00, assign a value of C
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 2, and Loan Amount is <= $580,150.00 = C
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 3, and Loan Amount is <= $701,250.00 = C
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 4, and Loan Amount is <= $871,450.00 = C
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 1, and Loan Amount is > $721,150.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 2, and Loan Amount is > $923,050.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units = 3, and Loan Amount is > $1,115,800.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =1, and Total Units =4, and Loan Amount is > $1,386,650.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 1, and Loan Amount is <= $226,550.00 = C
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 2, and Loan Amount is <= $290,075.00 = C
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 3, and Loan Amount is <= $350,625.00 = C
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 4, and Loan Amount is <= $435,725.00 = C
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 1, and Loan Amount is > $360,575.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 2, and Loan Amount is > $461,525.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 3, and Loan Amount is > $557,900.00 = NC
- If Lien Status =2, and Total Units = 2, and Loan Amount is > $693,325.00 = NC
B. The steps below require referencing data in the FHFA's Conforming Loan Limit file AND require that County data is reported in the LAR.
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 1, Reference the 1 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 2, Reference the 2 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 3, Reference the 3 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 4, Reference the 4 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 1, Reference the 1 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 2, Reference the 2 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 3, Reference the 3 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of that limit, assign a value of NC
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 4, Reference the 4 Unit Limit for the specific County reported.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of that limit, assign a value of C.
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of that limit, assign a value of NC
C. The steps below require referencing data in the FHFA's Conforming Loan Limit file AND require that State is data is reported in the LAR (so these are the records where county is reported NA, but State is reported).
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 1, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 1 unit.
- If Loan Amount is <= lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > the lowest possible limit but <= highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 2, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 2 units.
- If Loan Amount is <= lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > the lowest possible limit but <= highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 3, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 3 units.
- If Loan Amount is <= lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > the lowest possible limit but <= highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 1, Total Units = 4, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 4 units.
- If Loan Amount is <= lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > the lowest possible limit but <= highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 1, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 1 unit.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > HALF the lowest possible limit but <= HALF of highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 2, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 2 unit.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > HALF the lowest possible limit but <= HALF of highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 3, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 3 unit.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > HALF the lowest possible limit but <= HALF of highest possible limit, assign a value of U
- Lien Status = 2, Total Units = 4, Reference the minimum and maximum conforming limits for the STATE for 4 unit.
- If Loan Amount is <= HALF of lowest possible limit for the state, assign a value of C
- If Loan Amount is > HALF of highest possible limit for the state, assign a value of NC
- If loan amount > HALF the lowest possible limit but <= HALF of highest possible limit, assign a value of U
D. These are the records that have no state and county data (state & county reported NA) & have not been assigned a value in the preceding steps.
- If the record has not been assigned a value in steps 1 through 33, assign a value of U.
