One report detailed a drop in bankruptcy filings, and two Southern states having the highest number of bankruptcy filings per capita in the country.

U.S. foreclosures in 2016 hit a 10-year low, but high numbers of legacy foreclosures remain in some markets.

DS News recent reported on the latest foreclosure activity data, which indicated that the number of homes in foreclosure resumed its decline, after a spike the month prior. Which states are still struggling with high levels of foreclosure filings?

The foreclosure rate remains twice that of the national long-term average and CoreLogic attributes it to the individual state rates. Here are the top 10 states with the highest rates of foreclosure.

CoreLogic reported that in June 2015, New York's foreclosure inventory rate (the percentage of residential mortgages in some state of foreclosure) was 3.7 percent, three times the national rate for the month of 1.3 percent and second among states (New Jersey had 4.7 percent).

A steep decline in foreclosure filings in Missouri has dropped the Show Me State from the middle of the pack down to having one of the lowest foreclosure rates among states in November, according to RealtyTrac's U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for November 2014 released late last week.

The number of residential foreclosure filings in the U.S. declined by 9 percent from October to November despite a yearly spike in the number of foreclosure starts (scheduled auctions), according to RealtyTrac's U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for November 2014 released Thursday.

While foreclosure activity in the U.S. spiked by 15 percent from September to October, the largest monthly increase in four years, 10 states still saw a month-over-month decline in foreclosures in October, according to RealtyTrac's October 2014 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report released earlier this week.

According to RealtyTrac's October 2014 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report released on Thursday, foreclosure filings – which include default notices, schedule auctions, and bank repossessions (REOs) – increased in October by a staggering 412 percent from their September totals.

The number of foreclosure filings, which include default notices, schedule auctions, and bank repossessions (REOs), increased by 15 percent from September to October, the largest month-over-month jump since the peak of foreclosure activity in March 2010, according to RealtyTrac's October 2014 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report released Thursday.
