Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) Aggregation Master Data

The Pre-1990 HMDA Aggregation Data were prepared annually during this period by the FFIEC on behalf of institutions reporting HMDA data. The Aggregation Data consists of home purchase and home improvement loans that a depository institution originated or purchased during each calendar year. The collected HMDA data were individually aggregated up to the tract level by the reporting depository institution and submitted accordingly to the FFIEC. Individual records are the summary of loan activity for the specified respondent for the indicated census tract except when the census tract numbers were either 888888 or 999999. The 888888 tract records are the sum of all loan activity by the reporter outside of the MSA being reported, but not appearing in any other MSA report. The 999999 tract records are the consolidated county summary data for loans made in untracted counties or counties with 1980 total population less than 30,000. The 1988 and 1989 Aggregation Data files include aggregated data from nondepository institutions, specifically mortgage banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act TS and LAR Public Data

The LAR & TS data are collected by a financial institution as a result of applications for, and originations and purchases of, home-purchase loans (including refinancings) and home-improvement loans for each calendar year. The TS data contain specific information about the reporting institution, including respondent identification number used in the report, their supervisory agency code, respondent's name and address. The primary categories of each LAR record are data about the application and loan, action taken, property location, applicant information, and whether the loan was sold

3D-Auth: Two-Factor Authentication with Personalized 3D-Printed Items

Two-factor authentication is a widely recommended security mechanism and already offered for different services. However, known methods and physical realizations exhibit considerable usability and customization issues. In this paper, we propose 3D-Auth, a new concept of two-factor authentication. 3D-Auth is based on customizable 3D-printed items that combine two authentication factors in one object. The object bottom contains a uniform grid of conductive dots that are connected to a unique embedded structure inside the item. Based on the interaction with the item, different dots turn into touch-points and form an authentication pattern. This pattern can be recognized by a capacitive touchscreen. Based on an expert design study, we present an interaction space with six categories of possible authentication interactions. In a user study, we demonstrate the feasibility of 3D-Auth items and show that the items are easy to use and the interactions are easy to remember

Post-Industrial Widgets: Capital Flows and the Production of the Urban

For decades community activists fought to increase access to capital for disinvested communities. Now community activists question whether communities have access to capital or capital has access to them. Their concerns are related to the expansion of subprime and predatory lending. The subprime crisis has often been conceptualized as the action of a minor group of predatory lenders, a problem that is individualized, segmented and inherently local. I suggest instead that mortgage capital is the post-industrial widget, the emblematic product of the post-industrial economy. Capital accumulated by owners is extracted from urban communities and flows through brokers and lenders to investors and the subprime lending industry, linking global (and local) capital to place. Place is the node that facilitates capital accumulation, completing the flow from the ethereal world of securities and investment in the secondary circuit of capital to the real-world place of extraction in urban communities. Subprime lending in this context can be seen as a critical component of the financialization of the economy. National housing, macroeconomic and tax policies have expanded the importance of banking and finance within the global and national economy by increasing demand for, and the supply of, mortgage capital. I illustrate the impacts of national financial policy on urban places by examining mortgage foreclosures in Essex County, New Jersey and by talking with residents of one urban community in Newark, New Jersey.
