STRATA: A Name-and-Geography Race Inference Model for Fair Lending and Housing Equity Applications

arXiv:2504. 21259v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate imputation of race and ethnicity (R&E) is essential for fair lending compliance under ECOA, HMDA, and the Community Reinvestment Act, where up to 15% of mortgage applications carry missing race data and regulated institutions bear responsibility for identifying disparities on those records.
