This includes cities/towns/communities of Palm Bay, FL as well as Melbourne, FL, Titusville, FL, Cocoa, FL, Merritt Island, FL, Sebastian, FL, Viera East, FL, Rockledge, FL, West Melbourne, FL, Vero Beach South, FL, Viera West, FL, West Vero Corridor, FL, Florida Ridge, FL, Port St. John, FL, South Patrick Shores, FL, Cocoa Beach, FL, Wabasso, FL, Gifford, FL, Indian Harbour Beach, FL, Vero Beach, FL, Cape Canaveral, FL, Palm Shores, FL, Fellsmere, FL, Micco, FL, Indialantic, FL, Mims, FL, Melbourne Village, FL, Malabar, FL, Satellite Beach, FL, Orchid, FL, South Beach, FL, Melbourne Beach, FL, Sharpes, FL, Cocoa West, FL, and Grant-Valkaria, FL. Lenders must have made at least 30 loans in the area to be included. Source of the data is Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). Rate Difference (the average difference of interest rates relative to those of other lenders) were computed by subtracting the rate at origination from the average predicted rate conditional on the commuting zone, borrower LTV, DTI, Loan Amount, Loan Type, and Loan Purpose, and then regularized based on a Bayesian approach to account for smaller sample sizes. Above-average mortgage closing costs were then added to the rate difference at a rate of +0.15/point. Star ratings were determined in intervals of 0.10% in rate difference per half star.
