This map displays unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies, or a composite “stress index”, by county. Easy to miss: in the upper right you can change the scale of the mapping (rates, m-t-m, y-t-y). To look at data over time, click on the “monthly rates” option and a historical slider will appear at the bottom. Double click on a region to zoom in. Updated 8/2/10.
