20. Newport News, Virginia

Percentage of mortgages underwater: 19.2%

Median home value: $179,400

Again, another Virginia city makes the list from the same region. Bordering Hampton to the west and across the James River from Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Newport News is afflicted with a high proportion of homes with negative equity.

With 1 foreclosure in every 1,596 homes, the city’s foreclosure rate is higher than in Hampton or Norfolk. Rental vacancy is also a problem, with 9.4% of rental units lying vacant.

  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
