On December 20, 2019, the CFPB adjusted the HMDA exemption threshold from $46 million to $47 million. The adjustment is based on the 1.6 percent increase in the average of the CPI-W for the 12-month period ending in November 2019 (down from 2.6 last in 2018). Therefore, banks, savings associations, and credit unions with assets of $47 million or less as of Dec. 31, 2019, are exempt from collecting data in 2020.
