How likely households that are behind on their mortgage payments think it is that they will have to leave their home because of foreclosure within the next two months, across two Census Pulse variable versions.
AI-matched An AI model grouped these questions and mapped their answers onto shared categories, and a second AI review checked and corrected the grouping and mapping. No person has checked it: compare the question wordings and the answer mapping below before reading the lines against each other.
Latest: 3% answered “Very likely” in Household Pulse: Likelihood of leaving home due to foreclosure, 2024.
Shares of everyone asked, including non-answers. Each column is one survey wave (or one year’s average, for frequent series), evenly spaced rather than to scale in time; hover for exact shares.
Shares of everyone asked, including non-answers. Each point is one survey wave at the middle of its field period. Lines from different surveys are never spliced together.

Groups differ from everyone by 6 points on average across all answers, in Household Pulse: Likelihood of leaving home due to foreclosure.
Subgroup charts are picked automatically. Of every breakdown in the data (party, ideology, age, sex, race, education, income, region, religion, and community type), these two put their groups furthest from everyone’s answers: the gap is averaged across all answer categories and waves, with each group weighted by its share of respondents. Party and ideology count as one choice, so the second chart shows a different kind of split. Groups with an effective sample under 50 in a wave are left out of that wave, and changes run from each group’s first wave to its last.
