Underwater? Just floating above? NJ’s least equity-rich ZIP codes
The flip side of a question recently asked by ATTOM Data Solutions, the least equity-rich ZIP codes in New Jersey aren't all in locations that might seem readily obvious.
Half of the bottom 10 are still in major urban centers — three can be found in Trenton alone, along with one each in Camden and Newark — but two municipalities in historically rural Sussex County also make the list.
ATTOM defines "equity-rich" as when the amount of money still owed on a property is no more than 50% of its estimated market value.

Overall in New Jersey, 40.2% of mortgaged residential properties are considered equity-rich, several points lower than the national rate of 48.5%.
Meanwhile, the Garden State boasts an underwater mortgage rate of 2.7% against the national figure of 2.9%.
