Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	Subsequent Events In November 2016, we announced our intent to exercise our redemption option for the remaining Convertible Senior Notes due 2019, of which $68.0 million aggregate principal was outstanding at December 31, 2016. Radian elected to redeem all of the notes surrendered for conversion or redemption with cash. We settled our obligations on January 27, 2017 with a$110.1 million cash payment. At the time of settlement, this transaction resulted in a pretax charge of $4.5 million and reduced Radian Group’s diluted shares by 6.4 million.
