About 22 percent of home owners nationwide are considered “underwater,” owing more on their mortgage than their home is currently worth, according to recent CoreLogic data. Some states are seeing a higher number of underwater mortgages than others too.
Many of the states with the highest number of underwater mortgages also had some of the biggest housing booms a few years ago, before prices plunged.
