Adverse impact discrimination arises when lenders use lending criteria that are significantly correlated with prohibited characteristics when alternative criteria could be used. Of course demographic characteristics are correlated with many economic characteristics such as income and wealth which are good predictors of creditworthiness. Lenders are only allowed to use these factors if they can show that alternative economic indicators not correlated with minority status are not sufficient to predict credit risk in mortgage lending. The concept of statistical discrimination is closely related to adverse impact. Statistical discrimination arises when lenders use readily available characteristics that are correlated with minority status in the underwriting process rather than using alternative information that might be more costly to collect.
