According to an article in the Memphis Business Journal (found here), Tennessee ranks No. 26 in the national for its overall foreclosure rate.
There were a total of 3,911 foreclosure filings in the Volunteer State in January, an increase of 6.8 percent compared to January 2009 but a decrease of 17.8 percent compared to the previous month, according to RealtyTrac Inc.’s U.S. Foreclosure Market Report. One in every 705 Tennessee homes received some type of foreclosure filing — default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — during the month. That ratio is lower than the national average of one in every 409 U.S. homes receiving a filing in January.
For more details, on the national trend, see this article from the AP on Tennessean.com.
