A home and a car—two things most Hoosiers can relate to, considering we have a home-ownership rate of 70 percent and nearly 95 percent of households have at least one vehicle available for their use. But not everyone has been able to stay in their homes. Learn the extent of the foreclosure crisis in Indiana in our lead article by demographer and economic analyst Matt Kinghorn.
