As of October 2025, the mortgage delinquency rate in the U.S. stands at 4.8%, the highest since April 2020. Delinquencies for 60 days and 90 days also reflect an upward trend, recorded at 2.4% and 1.6%, respectively. In the realm of student loans, severe delinquencies (90 days or more) saw a significant increase from 0.8% in October 2024 to 10.9% by April 2025, with the current rate at 11% as of October 2025.
