The Federal Reserve Board Finance and Economic Discussions Series includes staff working papers on a variety of economic and financial topics of interest to the American public. For example, Raven Molloy and Hui Shan 's "The Post-Foreclosure Experience of U.S. Households" looks at 1999 to 2010 data from the credit reports of a large group of individuals. They concluded, "Although foreclosure considerably raises the probability of moving, the majority of post-foreclosure migrants do not end up in substantially less desirable neighborhoods or more crowded living conditions."
