Foreclosure Activity for the Nation’s 100 Largest MSAs – Q3 2007
The rate of foreclosure activity has increased nationwide in the 100 largest  metropolitan areas, according to data gathered on foreclosure and bank-owned
properties. 
 This list, compiled by Realty Trac, ranks metro areas by the number of foreclosure filings in relationship to number of households.
 For example, the Stockton, Calif., area ranks No. 1 with one foreclosure filling for every 31 households in that area. The household numbers are based
on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005 estimates of total housing units.
 The Kansas City area ranked 54 and greater St. Louis ranked 56.
 The properties in the database includes those with at least one foreclosure filing reported against them and only counts a property once, even if there were
multiple foreclosure actions filed against it during the reporting period.
