The company says foreclosures account for 0.7 percent of all mortgages in June, significantly better than the national rate of 1.6 percent but still more than double the share of foreclosures a year earlier.

What are the white patches? Colleges? Parks?

It looks to me like entire ZIP codes. Some aren't residential (Fort Meade, Aberdeen Proving Ground, etc.), but some are. I assume that "no data" means just that -- there may be homes and there may also be foreclosures, but the company has no figures.
