Questions
What is the distress map?
A free map for each county that colours small squares by the number of homes with a distress signal per 1,000 homes: unpaid property tax, a foreclosure filing, an open code case or a vacant-building case.
Does it show owners?
No. It shows counts. Squares with few homes are blank and small counts are hidden.
Can I embed it?
Yes. Each county page has a copy-and-paste embed code. The map links back to LeadCounty.
