Bread for the World Institute has documented this in the following state fact sheets. We want to raise a warning that the foreclosure epidemic and national housing crisis could lead to increasing hunger as well. These state fact sheets represent one of the most comprehensive treatments to date on the impact of subprime lending in poor communities.
All high-poverty counties and their corresponding subprime rates are included in this Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
