It is complicated. Essentially they put you within ideal ranges. To bankers, everything is a ratio and they compare your ratio to what they consider ideal. They simply want to minimize their risk when lending to you.
Your interest rate will vary based on the following key factors:
1) Down payment
2) Income
3) Other debts
4) credit score
So, total debt to income is one ratio
loan to home value ratio is another.
