TROY, Mich. -

 If you mapped out the metropolitan areas where leasing is strongest, it would closely resemble the Big Ten and Big East basketball territories from the good ole days.

In terms of lease penetration rates, the Northeast and the Great Lakes area of the Midwest dominated the top of the list in the first quarter, with the Motor City coming in at No. 1.

That’s according to Power Information Network (PIN) data from J.D. Power, which indicated that Detroit led the way with 70 percent lease penetration in Q1.

It was followed by New York (63 percent), Cleveland (55 percent), Miami (50 percent) and Boston (44 percent).

Next up was Pittsburgh (43 percent) and Philadelphia (42 percent), with California South (41 percent), Milwaukee (40 percent) and Columbus, Ohio (37 percent) rounding out the top 10.

Of the 13 markets with lease penetration of at least 30 percent, 11 were in the Northeast or Great Lakes portion of the Midwest, with the outliers being Miami and Southern California.
