This is through the 2nd Quarter 08. I think current conditions may be worse.

4. It's in the fine print at the bottom of the map. The darker the worse things are

There is a wide swath of grey running through the left center of the map which stands for no data. This is because those counties have small populations and so will possibly show a disproportionate statistic - 2 houses and 1 in default and you would have adefault rate of 50%.

8. I should have figured it would have been in the fine print. Thank you. n/t

11. Interesting link, not easy to navigate

I checked out my old homestead in NJ, a definitely upscale community, and the foreclosure rate is through the roof and CC is not far behind. Boy am I glad I got out of this shit in 2002 with a good buyout. I'm just sorry the ex blew threw the money so fast. As for my former neighbors, most of them are getting what they deserve, I just hope the working people in the area can hold on until things get better. I don't think it will happen for most, but the best always show their worth in hard times.
