In 43 states, First American CoreLogic was able to analyze data for all homes with mortgages. Using estimates of current property values, the analysis shows that many homeowners owe more on their mortgages than the homes are now worth, a condition known as having negative equity. Move the cursor over a state to see the percentage of mortgaged homes with negative equity.
