Delinquencies Post Fifth Month of Improvement
Tuesday, April 13, 2021

rate posted its fifth consecutive decline in January, retreating to the lowest
level since the start of the pandemic. CoreLogic says 5.6 percent of all
mortgages were at least 30 days past due during the month, including those loans

percent.
