Guest tbatst2000 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Mostly Florida & California...This is a very interesting map... Except for Minnesota, Michigan, etc, etc. Not sure this shows anything more than the most foreclosure being where the population density is highest...

Habeas Domus Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 unless these are adjusted for pupulation density they are pretty useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 ...North Dakota must be sparse .... It is! Population is about 640,000, slightley less than in the 1930's and slowly declining. Total population of the USA is about 310,000,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to have your baked bean bunker though. Northampton should give some thought to that Once famed for its shoe-making, Northampton has suffered the worst loss of earnings in the country over the last four years, according to the data, with workers in the city losing on average £37 per week between 2006 and 2010.That marks a fall of 2.2% and amounts to nearly £2,000 a year - more than seven times the British average. http://money.uk.msn.com/news/uk-economy/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=155993463&page=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@contradevian Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Northampton should give some thought to that http://money.uk.msn....5993463&page=11 Can't be much better than neighbouring Leicester? All the high end firms gone, Marconi GE, (not sure about Plessey) as well as the footwear manufacturers. All that remains of Wolsey is the factory chimney, which they are preserving! Its only massive state intervention in the form of Council regeneration thats stopped many a Midlands town becoming like downtown Detroit.

The State intervention failed in Stoke-on-Trent I'm afraid (where my mother's family hail from). Costa coffee and shopping malls are thin on the ground (but they do have an MP called Tristram) and to think it was once THE centre for pottery. Still, isn't this all part of the 'miracle' service economy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Sadman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Isnt North Dakota the one with the state bank that Bill Still sometimes mentions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeplyblue Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Except for Minnesota, Michigan, etc, etc. Not sure this shows anything more than the most foreclosure being where the population density is highest... Population density surely highest in the east coast megalopolis - which is conspicuously absent from the list. What seems most interesting to me is that of the cities shown only a couple could count as "North" - Sacramento is in northern California and Idaho actually has a border with Canada. All the rest are in sunshine states - which have large numbers of [a] "snowbird" retirees and Hispanics and [c] casual and seasonal employment. The other point about US defaults is that many states permit you to post your keys through the door of the bank and walk away owing nothing - unlike the UK where you can't get rid of the debt just be dumping the house. I followed one of the links on the page referenced, which talked about "strategic defaults". Strategic Default in Nevada One Fourth of Nevada walk aways involved people who could afford to pay, but who strategically walked away from their debt It is interesting to speculate what might happen here if a similar approach to mortgage debt were possible. db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
