California ranks in the top five of both categories. Nearly a third of California homeowners with mortgages — 2.1 million families — owe more than their homes are worth, according to CoreLogic. And each of those borrowers is underwater by an average of about $93,000

I hadn’t realized you were just talking California. It didn’t fit what I see elsewhere. (midwest, east coast) But it does fit here.

Interesting to see that these stats are an improvement over a year ago. Not that it matters if you’re underwater.
