In its twenty-fourth annual report on mortgage lending patterns, the Massachusetts Community & Banking Council (MCBC) offers information on patterns of mortgage lending in the City of Boston, in Greater Boston, in Massachusetts, and in thirty-six large cities and towns. Specifically, the report examines:

• The Level and Composition of Mortgage Lending

• Denials of Mortgage Applications
• Lender Activity
• Legislative and Regulatory Developments

In addition to the data in the report, MCBC provides data on all Massachusetts cities and towns in a set of supplemental tables. An infographic highlighting key data points is also provided.
