A growing number of houses and apartments sit empty in North Jersey, a result of the four-year-old housing bust.
From affluent to middle-class to poor neighborhoods, the percentage of vacant homes was higher in 2010 than in 2000, according an analysis of U.S. census data by The Record.
The vacant homes include a Saddle River Victorian that an investor hoped to flip; newly constructed Waldwick town homes, and boarded-up, bank-owned houses in Paterson. And then there are the rentals that, in more prosperous times, would have been filled with new college graduates starting their careers.
