PROVIDENCE – The share of mortgages in delinquency of 30 days or more in Rhode Island was 3.4% in November, a decline from 5.6% a year ago and 3.8% in October, according to CoreLogic Inc. Tuesday.

The national delinquency rate in November was 3.6%, a decline from 5.9% in November 2020.

“Nonfarm employment rose 6.45 million during 2021, helping to rebuild income for families under financial stress during the pandemic,” said Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. “Income growth has helped to reduce past-due rates and home equity build-up has reduced the likelihood of a distressed sale for families that experience financial challenges.”
