Western States: Oregon Had Biggest Decline in Housing Bonds from 2008-2009.

Bond Buyer has interesting story on 2009-2008 changes in use of municipal bonds in Western states HERE.

A comprehensive breakout by state is linked within the story and can be found HERE.(Oregon details are on page 5).

I took the state breakout and did a further breakout by state of just housing bonds.

In my summary HERE you will see that Oregon had the LARGEST decline in use of housing bonds of any Western state, a decline of 85.6%. (Washington state had a decline of only 11.3%, and California's decline was close to, but less than Oregon's, at 80.9%.
