The FHA Mortgage Split, Reframed

Published: February 2026 | American Default Research

FHA delinquency remains useful indicator context, but the family-v1 ADI no longer uses retired fitted components or zone language.

The FHA delinquency split remains an indicator-level signal about borrowers with thinner buffers. The earlier article tied that signal to the retired ADI component structure, so this revision removes the old fitted-weight and zone claims.

Under the family method, the national ADI publishes five equal-weighted domains. FHA delinquency is useful context for mortgage stress, while the committed ADI input registry determines which series enter the composite.

The ADI reference page publishes any national band label only with the literal reading gloss required by the engine.
