Open data is a game-changer in today's world, and at Polygon Research, we're at the forefront of harnessing it for the housing finance and mortgage banking stakeholders. Our expertise shines in making the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) – a public treasure trove of data – immensely useful for industry professionals. Just last week, our CTO joined an esteemed panel at the 2023 Hispanic Wealth Symposium, alongside Jake Krimmel, Ph.D., Economist, Microeconomic Surveys, Federal Reserve Board, José Espaillat, Diverse Segments Head of Affluent Markets, Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management, and Elizabeth Nimmons, Ph.D., Senior Policy & Research Analyst, NAHREP.

Unlocking the Potential of SCF Open Data

The SCF survey, with its open-access nature, presents a wealth of opportunities, yet its full potential is often overlooked. We specialize in digging deep into this data to uncover insights that directly benefit mortgage bankers and their clients.

Transforming Mortgage Banking with Data-Driven Insights

Our focus is on converting raw SCF data into meaningful, actionable strategies. This approach is revolutionizing how mortgage products are designed, marketed, and tailored to diverse consumer needs. For example, most recently, Polygon Research contributed to the State of Hispanic Wealth Report: Drivers of Wealth.
