25 States with Highest Mortgage Delinquency Rates

Published on April 28, 2024 at 6:10 pm by Daniyal Jawaid in Lists, News

In this article, we will list 25 states with highest mortgage delinquency rates. We will begin by discussing the latest news and trends in real estate prices and mortgage delinquencies. If you want to skip and head straight to the top 11 of our list, go to 10 States with Highest Mortgage Delinquency Rates.

Home buyers in the United States are facing record-high interest rates. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate currently hovers around 6.8%, which is 2.5 times higher than the record lows of early 2021. In theory, this should lead to a decrease in home prices as demand for housing decreases with rising mortgage rates. However, as we saw in our piece about major cities with the highest home price increases since the pandemic, they are increasing.

The US real estate market is returning to its pre-pandemic trend of home prices growing nearly half a percent every month. According to CNBC, the month-on-month home price growth was recorded at 0.6% in February, this year. So, what is keeping the home prices up despite a record-high 30-year mortgage rate?

Economists at the Federal Housing Finance Agency have published research that might answer this question. According to the research, the lock-in effect is responsible for about 1.3 million fewer home sales in America between Q2, 2022, and Q4, 2023.

In the context of mortgage rates, the lock-in effect refers to the situation when homeowners do not find it economically viable to sell their home because their current home interest rates are lower than the one they would get for a new one. According to The New York Times analysis, around 70% of all mortgage holders currently have rates more than 3% lower than the current rates. Since there is a shortage of homes in the market, their prices are increasing.

Amid these rising home prices and mortgage rates, construction companies that offer housing options with reasonable prices become even more important. One such company is KB Home (NYSE:KBH), which is also one of the largest home-building companies in the country. With a portfolio of more than 680,000 homes, KB Home (NYSE:KBH) is one of the most trusted companies in real estate. It has recently announced the launch of its new community in Moreno Valley, California, by the name of Palmetto. According to KB Home (NYSE:KBH), homes in the Palmetto start from $560,000.

Mortgage delinquency rates have been on the rise in the United States recently. The Q4, 2023 saw a 7 basis point increase in total 90-day mortgage delinquency rates compared to the third quarter of the year. The five states with the largest quarterly increase in their overall delinquency rates were Louisiana, West Virginia, Illinois, Texas, and New Mexico. Four of these states are also part of our list of the 25 states with the highest mortgage delinquency rates. In addition, the 90-day mortgage delinquency rate overall in the US increased by 27.9% in Q4, 2023, compared to Q4, 2022. As of Q4, 2023, the 90-day mortgage delinquency rate in the United States is 0.58%.

Our analysis of the 90-day mortgage delinquency rates of Q4, 2020 to Q4, 2023 revealed that the rate increased for most states on our list over this period. While 90-day mortgage delinquency rates of 24 states on our list decreased between 2020 and 2021, only nine states had a lower rate by the end of 2023 compared to 2020. In addition, while all states had less than a 1% 90-day mortgage delinquency rate in 2021, two states had a 90-day mortgage delinquency rate higher than 1% in 2023. In addition, one entry on our list nearly doubled its 90-day mortgage delinquency rate over three years.

With that background, let’s look at the 25 states with the highest mortgage delinquency rates.

Methodology 

We used data from the New York Fed Consumer Credit Panel to curate our list of the 25 states with the highest mortgage delinquency rates. Our list is based on the 90-day mortgage delinquency rates as of Q4, 2023. The higher this rate, the higher the state ranks on our list. As a tie-breaker, we used 90-day delinquency rates for Q4, 2022.

For our list, we also analyzed the 90-day delinquency rates of the fourth quarter from 2020 to the same quarter in 2023. The 3-year change in this rate is mentioned in the list. All delinquency rates and three-year change are mentioned to the nearest two decimal places.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.
