Chicago Foreclosure Rate Second Highest Among Top 5 Metros

Chicago's foreclosure rate was higher than New York, Philadelphia and Dallas, but lower than Los Angeles, according to the latest RealtyTrac U.S. Foreclosure Market Report.

One in every 475 households in the Chicago metro area received a foreclosure filing in February, the second highest foreclosure rate among five of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.
