1. Submit button
Click this button after you have selected items from both lists to proceed to the next screen.
2. Subject List
Click on one item in the left list to select your subject area or lender. The key difference between this list and the baseline list on the right side of the box is in the way the "Compare Ratio" is calculated. The compare ratio is computed by dividing, for example, the delinquent percentage of the subject area/lender by the delinquent percentage of the baseline area/lender. Therefore, the subject area/lender should always be the smaller of the two, so that compare ratios are greater than one for unusually high percentages, and less than one for lower than normal percentages.
3. Baseline list
Click on one item in the right list to select the area or lender against which your subject area/lender will be compared. Generally, the item selected here will be an area surrounding the subject area/lender. For example, if the subject area is a ZIP Code in Chicago, the baseline area might be the city of Chicago, the MSA of Chicago, or the State of Illinois.
4. Type of Loan Portfolio
Select which type of loan portfolio for which you wish to filter the Early Warnings data.
