This is the second map that I created with my urban geographer brother Matthew Mulbrandon on the Housing Price Index (HPI). A description of these maps as well as the first set can be found on Design & Geography. This new set is inflation adjusted and covers the entire span of the Federal Housing data set 1991-2010.

Unlike prices in the stock market (which are the same no matter where you you live) your experience of the housing bubble was determined by your location in the years 2000-2010. These maps (which I created with Matthew Mulbrandon) give a quick and easy glance at the change in housing prices focusing on the bubble in the United States. They show the Housing Price Index (not inflation adjusted) by state. As you have probably seen in the news, the housing bubble was largest in the West and the South East, in states such as California, Arizona, and Nevada and Florida. Those states had the largest increase from 2000-2006 (height of the bubble) and the largest decreases from 2006-2010. However, from 2000 to 2010 one can see all states (except Michigan) had more moderate price increases. You can learn more about the housing market at DesignandGeography.com

If you want to look up the population for the rest for the world try the World Bank’s data tool.

I have been enjoying a series of podcasts by Plant Money’s team in which they bought toxic asset which has more than 2,000 mortgages. They paid $1,000 for a piece that used to be worth around $75,000.
Their interactive graphic shows how this asset was created with mortgages across the country, how many payments they have received from it, and how it has been losing value.
In the beginning Dec 2006, “Toxie” was a little sick
But by July 2010, “Toxie” was a almost dead…
