Jesus..just looked up the number of forclosed homes in my zip code
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 12:45 PM by rainbow4321
Over 7, I lost count of the dots after that, they were piled on top of each other in some areas. JUST in my zip code alone.... The city itself has 250,000 but it has several zips in it. The map I looked up goes about 2 mile in radius.

On edit: It's in Plano, TX---- for nonlocals: one of the richest counties/cities in North TX..not that ***I*** play any part in that wealth, I just happened to land here 16 years ago.

18. Going by the "city by city" option is interesting
instead of "sort by zip code": Aubrey, TX: 972 housing structures and **135** foreclosures. Geez.
