Distress = share of active for-sale MLS inventory carrying a short-sale, foreclosure, REO, auction, or pre-foreclosure signal (status + remarks, negation-guarded), over true active inventory. County table floors at 200 active listings. Statistics describe housing inventory and markets, never people or the desirability of any area. See also the full rankings and the market comparison tool.
