9. Dayton, Ohio

Percentage of mortgages underwater: 27.6%

Median home value: $52,500

Like many cities in Ohio, Dayton has suffered from deindustrialization and has gotten poorer over the years. Although this makes homes cheaper — the current median listing price is only $67,900 — it brings the value of homes down too, hurting homeowners who’ve lived in their houses for years or even decades. And it shows in the numbers, as 27.6% of homeowners have mortgages with negative equity.

  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
