Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	Capital Stock Share Repurchase Program On August 16, 2018, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. On March 20, 2019, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a $150 million increase in authorization for this program, bringing the total authorization to repurchase shares up to $250 million, excluding commissions. Radian operates this program pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which permits the company to purchase shares, at pre-determined price targets, when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 1,546,674 shares at an average price of $20.54 per share, including commissions. As of March 31, 2019, purchase authority of up to $218.2 million remained available under this program, which expires on July 31, 2020. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 4,131,329 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $21.94 per share, including commissions. As of May 6, 2019, purchase authority of up to a maximum of $127.7 million remained available under this program. Other Purchases We may purchase shares on the open market to settle stock options exercised by employees and purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, upon the vesting of certain restricted stock awards under our equity compensation plans, we may withhold from such vested awards shares of our common stock to satisfy the tax liability of the award recipients. Dividends Paid In each of the quarters during 2019 and 2018, we declared quarterly cash dividends on our common stock equal to $0.0025 per share.
