Bakersfield ranks No. 8 for the top foreclosure rates nationally last month, according to RealtyTrac, an Irvine-based real estate data firm, figures released today show.
Six California cities registered foreclosure rates among the top 10: Modesto at No. 3 (one in every 107 housing units); Stockton at No. 4 (one in 107); Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario at No. 5 (one in 109); Merced at No. 6 (one in 109); Vallejo-Fairfield at No. 7 (one in 112); and Bakersfield at No. 8 (one in 118).

There were problems with 315,716 U.S. properties last month, a decrease of nearly 10 percent from December but still 15 percent above the level reported in January 2009. The report also showed one in every 409 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing in January.
