Mortgage Lending Patterns in Fourth District Communities as of March 2009

In response to constituents’ requests for data, the Community Development team has developed a new format to provide periodic snapshots of mortgage lending and foreclosure patterns in the 4th District at the county level. These data briefs will be updated periodically and posted online. This first data brief, Mortgage Lending Patterns in 4th District Communities, shows the counties with the highest and lowest rates of delinquency, as of December 2008. It also includes a map of delinquency and foreclosure intensity by county, which illuminates areas of particular concern across the district.
