Q. How do I find data on housing foreclosures by state?

Foreclosure Information by state can be found at U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Data Set portal:

http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/nsp_foreclosure_data.html

From this page, select the letter range your state falls within, then select your state. When you click the link, a folder will download with foreclosure data for that state.

HUD Data Note:"There are separate files for every state. Download HUD's methodology paper to understand the data sources and HUD's approach to estimating small area foreclosure rates."
