Podcast 87 explores the evolving regulatory approach to redlining enforcement, focusing on shifts since the DOJ launched its “Combatting Redlining Initiative” in 2021. Historically, redlining was assessed based on intent and loan denials, transitioning in 2009 to statistical analyses using "Reasonably Expected Market Areas" (REMA). Recently, regulators have expanded REMAs to entire metropolitan areas or states, raising concerns about fairness and accuracy. A notable development evidenced in some recent examinations is a new peer definition for banks under examination, limiting comparisons to banks and credit unions with deposit-taking branches in the REMA. This adjustment, which excludes mortgage companies operating under different models, has shown more realistic results, often improving banks' minority penetration metrics. Banks are encouraged to incorporate this method into internal analyses, leveraging data from HMDA and regulatory websites, as it may mitigate potential DOJ referrals amidst intensified enforcement.
