Foreclosure / want ads ratio

In recessionary times, I calculate the ratio of pages of foreclosure listings to wants ad. Today it was 18 pages to 0.3 or a ratio of 60. In 2002, I can remember peak values of 8-10 since want ads didn't drop much below 1 page.
Today's paper was 68 pages long and had 18 pages of foreclosure ads.
