How the map is built
- A signal is any of: unpaid property tax, a foreclosure filing, an open code case, or a vacant-building case. A home with two is counted once.
- The base is homes (residential parcels with a reliable position on the map).
- No owner, address or parcel is shown. Squares under 30 homes are blank so no single home stands out.
- The map compares places inside one county. It is not a rating of neighbourhoods and not investment advice.
Questions
What does the map show?
Each square is a patch of the county. Its colour is the number of homes with a distress signal per 1,000 homes there. A signal is any of: unpaid property tax, a foreclosure filing, an open code case or a vacant-building case.
Does a dark square mean a bad neighbourhood?
No. It means more owners are under pressure with their property in that patch. That can mean more chances to buy at a fair price and also more risk. Check values and local rules before you act.
Can I see who owns the homes?
No. The map is built from counts. A square needs at least 30 homes to be drawn, counts under 5 print as 'fewer than 5', and no owner or address is shown.
