Claim 1: “Indiana was hit hardest and logged one foreclosure filing for every 739 housing units in the first quarter of 2026”
DISPUTED
The Flipboard source claims Indiana was hit hardest in Q1 2026. However, another web search result explicitly states that Delaware was the state with the highest foreclosure rate in April 2026, and a third source mentions South Carolina had the highest rate. These sources contradict the claim that Indiana was the hardest hit.
