As the first half of this year came to a conclusion, FHA insurance was in force on 8,617,173 residential loans for $1.3300 trillion, according to an analysis of data reported by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The residential total was comprised of $1.1835 trillion in single-family loans, $0.1455 trillion in home-equity conversion mortgages and $0.0010 trillion in Title I loans.
