Florida's Economic Distress
Florida is facing economic disaster, with a recent report by Moneywise, WalletHub, Forbes, and Yahoo Finance indicating it is the second-most distressed state in terms of debt obligations.
The state has seen a 23% increase in distressed bank accounts between 2024 and 2025, with 7.3% of residents having accounts in distress, ranking sixth-highest overall.
Measuring the share of residents in financial distress is a good way to take the pulse of a state and see whether people are generally thriving or having trouble making ends meet.
When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state.
Chip Lupo, a WalletHub analyst, emphasized the importance of assessing financial distress to understand a state's economic trends.
