Key findings include:

  • Mortgage default risk is influenced by natural hazard risk.
  • When a natural disaster occurs, a mortgage holder is almost twice as likely to default in high risk areas as compared to low risk areas.
  • Miami has the greatest exposure to mortgage default risk due to natural hazards.
  • Forecasts estimate that roughly 70 percent of the expected dollar volume of refinance originations for 2013 has already occurred.
