It was a little confusing until I read the article. They are talking about people with "distressed credit accounts." In other words, people who have borrowed money and are behind on payments. TX and FL have the highest percentage of residents with distressed credit accounts.

I theorized that a lot of Trump voters would run up debt in anticipation of his campaign promises coming true. Trump voters seemed to believe that he would halve prices, for instance. They believed the fairy tales, borrowed a ton of money, and now they owe on their loans and credit cards.

I know this isn't true of everyone who has credit card debt, but if like to see some real investigative reporting on people who took out loans because they thought that Trump was bringing the fairytale.

The day they voted for.

Instead of De Santis doing a 180, he'll escalate the MAGA talk in order to create a protective shell, because the MAGAs are too stupid to figure out that it's their policies that turn a state into Alabama.

Somehow we have a metric that puts New Mexico or Louisiana above Texas?
Does this have more to do with growth? Texas and Florida were the two high growth regions over the last years with a lot of people moving in. So new mortgages and debt. Louisiana and New Mexico have a lot of poor and no growth.

Apparently the metric they're looking at is "distressed accounts."

Like you I did a double take at NM and AK being among the best states.

So you're right, this metric looks at people who (a) took out loans or have credit card debt and (b) are behind in payments.

We'd have to get a lot more granular to find out why.

year. FEMA funds that reimburse cities and counties for losses of public facilities (repairs and replacement of electric lines, poles, transformers, for instance). Power companies fronted those repairs but are having problems being reimbursed. FEMA funds have been diverted to immigration gulags. We're being charged about 25% more for power, now.

are going up and down like every place else. Gas for instance goes up and down 10¢ every week.
Yes if I shop in specialty stores the prices are high but you have to "shop around"..
If you live by the water you can expect your home insurance to be high.. Many time these websites have to paint gloom and doom to get clicks and advertisers... it's all about the money..
Just my observations

It's rather confusing.

It's about people who have gotten into debt and are behind on payments.
