Hartford has been named one of the least healthy housing markets among American cities, according to a recent study.

Hartford ranked at No. 295 out of 300 total cities – No. 140 out of the 144 "small cities – analyzed in WalletHub’s 2015 report, "2015’s Healthiest Housing Markets." The study examined 14 metrics including number of foreclosures and delinquent mortgages, median home price and building-permit activity, as well as population and job growth.

Hartford was ranked worst out of the 300 cities regarding home equity, with 25 times more negative equity than the top rated city, Berkeley, California.

Frisco, Texas, Allen, Texas and Arvada, Colorado were the top overall cities, with Flint, Michigan at the bottom.

This survey is a stark contrast to WalletHub’s late-July assessment, which ranked Hartford fifth healthiest in "The Health of the Housing Market in 25 Big Cities."
