    2. There were significantly more subprime loans taken out by home owners in Iowa than the national average in 2008. That is to say, Iowa will be more affected by the subprime mortgage crisis in years to come as a greater percentage of all mortgages in Iowa - 7.4% versus 4.8% - will reset to higher rates in 2009. This will mean that there will be more foreclosures caused by the reseting of subprime mortgages in Iowa than other areas of the US.
