  • 24/7 Wall St.: Cities with the Most Homes in Foreclosure

    Thu, May 24, 2012 2:59 PM | Tara McMullen-King
    According to data released last week, the worst effects of the housing crisis are beginning to wind down. RealtyTrac’s latest report shows the number of foreclosures in the U.S. in April is down 13 percent to 188,780 from 219,258 a year ago. However, some of the largest cities in the U.S. continue to lag behind the rest of the country, and still have long to go before the housing crash has fully run its course.

  • High Proportion of Veterans Live in Rural Areas Less Served by Philanthropic Efforts

    Thu, May 24, 2012 2:53 PM | Tara McMullen-King
    It may be that the numbers tell the story behind our analysis of the tepid support of mainstream U.S. foundations for veterans and their families. The Daily Yonder’s Bill Bishop takes U.S. Census data to show that the areas of the country with the highest proportions of military veterans (and presumably their families) are rural and exurban counties.
