“Among the top 50 metro foreclosure rates, the
three biggest year-over-year increases were in Boise City-Nampa,
Idaho, and Provo-Orem and Salt Lake City in Utah. In several
states the largest increases were posted in cities not previously
a focal point for foreclosure activity. The Chico metro area
posted the biggest year-over-year increase in California, with
foreclosure activity up 98 percent from the third quarter of
2008. The medium-sized metro about 100 miles north of Sacramento
had a 12.8 percent unemployment rate in August, above the state
and national averages.”
