State by state bankruptcy statistics, 2005-2012

Filings continue to fall in 3rd quarter of 2012

By Susan Ladika

Bankruptcies slipped again in the third quarter of 2012, though experts do not expect the trend to last much longer.

The first nine months of 2012 saw about 913,000 individual bankruptcy filings in the 50 states and District of Columbia. That's down 14 percent from the same period in 2011, when 1.06 million bankruptcies were filed, according to figures from Epiq Systems, which compiles data from federal bankruptcy records.

The decline comes on the heels of a fall of 12 percent for all of 2011 compared to the previous year. For 2011, fewer than 1.37 million bankruptcy filings were recorded, compared to almost 1.55 million in 2010.

The chart below summarizes Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies by state and by federal court jurisdiction, through the third quarter of 2012. Click on a state to unfold details.
