【Zillow】Uneven Recovery: Many High-Foreclosure ZIP Codes Haven't Bounced Back

• In most major markets, ZIP codes that experienced the fewest foreclosures during the housing bust have recovered significantly more than those with the most foreclosures.
• The gap in recovery rates between high-foreclosure and low-foreclosure ZIP codes is especially pronounced throughout California and in many Midwest metros.
• The median U.S. home is worth 9.8 percent more today than its pre-recession peak value.

An average person would likely conclude that the U.S. housing market has recovered from the crash that began just over a decade ago. And in many ways, they’d be right: The nation’s median home is now worth 9.8 percent more than it was at its peak prior to the housing bust, andhalf of all U.S. homes are worth at least as much as they were at the peak of the housing bubble.
