Federal Reserve Bank of New York – May 12, 2008

The Federal Reserve System is now offering a new tool that presents a clearer statistic picture of the impact of subprime mortgage conditions through out the country. These dynamic interactive maps show conditions and density of owner-occupied subprime mortgage loans for the states, counties, and zip codes in the United States. The maps are based on data for owner-occupied mortgage loans that have been securitized into a product that is categorized as subprime, based on the grade assigned to the security. The underlying data was first date December, 2007 -- but will be updated periodically by the Federal Reserve.

Functions: A dozen separate functions are available by setting your computer’s cursor on the listings in the right column of the map. Users can obtain the following information regarding subprime loans:

  • Loans per 1000 housing units
  • In foreclosure per 1000 housing units
  • REOs per 1000 housing units
  • Share ARMs
  • Share current
  • Share 90 + days delinquent
  • Share in foreclosure
  • Median combined LTV
  • Share low FICO and high LTV
  • Share low or no documentation
  • Share ARMs resetting in 12 months
  • Share late payment last 12 months
