In what is perhaps the coolest collection of statistical graphics we have seen in the past 12 months, The Atlantic has an infographic in it latest issue that compares a number of economic metrics pre and post-recession.
The full graphic can be viewed here, but below are a few interesting statistics (some real estate-related, some not) that came out of the article:
- Average rate on 30-year fixed mortgage: November 2007 — 6.21%; November 2010 — 4.3%
- Residential properties in foreclosure: October 2008 — 1.19 million; October 2010 — 2.09 million
- Unemployment rate: November 2007 — 4.7%; November 2010 — 9.8%
