Unemployment and Foreclosure Rates Drive Housing Market Risk

ATTOM’s Q1 2026 Housing Impact Report identifies the most vulnerable housing markets based on unemployment, foreclosure rates, affordability, and equity measures. Florida and California contained the highest concentration of at-risk counties, while Tennessee boasted some of the safest markets in the nation. The greatest risk remains in counties where unemployment rates are above 5 percent and homes are being foreclosed at greater rates.
