Census: 5.4 Million Expect To Lose Housing In 2 Months

There’s big housing news out of the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest Household Pulse Survey released Wednesday – and it doesn’t bode well for homeowners and renters.
Of adults who are not current on rent or mortgage payments, 32.1 percent say it is somewhat or very likely they will be evicted or have their loans foreclosed on in the next two months, the survey found. The survey found that 6.8 percent of adults are either not current on their rent or mortgage payment.
The survey findings would mean about 5.4 million expect to be evicted or face foreclosure in the next two months. This is based on a US adult population of roughly 250 million, according to the Census Bureau.
Wyoming and North Carolina are leading the way with more than 50 percent of those behind on payments expecting to be evicted or face foreclosure, albeit with large margins of error.
Here is a look at state-by-state numbers:
