29. St. Louis

Percentage of mortgages underwater: 14.7%

Median home value: $119,600

The Gateway to the West has been struggling a bit in recent years, not unlike similar Midwestern cities that used to be much larger in the past. As such, St. Louis housing is a very mixed bag: On the one hand, foreclosures aren’t much of a problem, with 1 foreclosure in every 2,453 being close to the U.S. average. However, much of the city’s housing is unoccupied, with St. Louis having a very high homeowner vacancy rate of 4%.

  1. unfortunate news. Trump’s “booming economy” is a f’in lie. In fact, basically everything the White House says is a self serving scam or out right falsehood. Dump Trump NOW! make America Great Again!

      Aurora’s problems reflect the democratic control of Illinois’ legislature. Illinois has a poor business climate. Caterpillar’s decided to move manufacturing out of its Aurora facility. And Illinoisians are leaving in droves because of high taxes.

      Sorry, Trump has done more for business than the preceding president. Gasoline prices are at very low prices. We can’t afford another democratic socialist president.

  2. This started way before Trump got elected into office. It was the banks that loaned to people who should not have gotten mortgages. They also approved mortgages for way more than buyers should have been granted. Peoples spending habits are way out of line and they cannot make thier mortgage payments. No ones faullt but the buyers.

  3. THE REAL AMERICAN

    8 yrs of give it all away,sit on ur ass and watch the real back bone of this america do the work for the slug’s that obama fed and groomed that put him on his selfish podium, BRAVO!!!!
