Mapping the mortgage crisis in Minnesota

Using Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, Kristi Piehl, Nicole Muehlhausen and Mike Maybay of KSTP evaluated the housing market in Minnesota. They analyzed 16 years of data to see how the mortgage crisis has impacted the state. In some counties, foreclosure rates have increased by over 400 percent over the last three years. Interactive maps of mortgage applications and denials, as well as foreclosures, can be found on the KSTP website.

The HMDA data for this story was provided by IRE and NICAR.
