The number of properties that lenders repossessed in foreclosures nationwide last year is at an eight-year low, but Florida continued to have the nation’s highest foreclosure rate in 2014.

Figures released last week by the research firm RealtyTrac shows Florida had a 2.3 percent foreclosure rate last year, the highest in the nation.

Florida was followed by New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois and Nevada.

Four Florida metro areas also were among the top 5 cities with the nation’s highest foreclosure rates.

Atlantic City, New Jersey, was at the top of the list. It was followed by Miami, Orlando, Florida’s Space Coast and Tampa.
