Foreclosure Heat Maps
With foreclosure rates at record highs, HotPads has given our users a way to track and chart the housing crisis with easy to use heat maps. See foreclosure heat maps nationwide now.
HotPads Foreclosure Heat Maps portray the markets hit hardest by the recent housing crisis and the increased foreclosure rates. These foreclosure heat maps visually illustrate the foreclosures per capita and display color-coded foreclosure rates by county and state.
Users can track the trends in foreclosure rates for different markets by comparing the historical foreclosure heat maps on a week-to-week and month-to-month basis. These stats are generated from listing counts on HotPads to give you an idea of foreclosure rates throughout the country. With this greater transparency to the housing crisis, our users can better understand the trends in their markets, as well as the foreclosure rates in other markets across the country.
