This is the only theme where the VIEW TRENDS option is unavailable.

This layer is meant to be flexible for users to get general information and apply filters as desired.


Ownership: Who owns each property—and where they live.

This tab features different types of property ownership trends and filters including by land use category and owner (ex: individual, company, out-of-state investor).

The parcel-layer data is filtered to properties owned by investors.

Selecting VIEW TRENDS will compare counts and percentages of investor-owned properties across geographic areas.


Evictions Where and how often landlords file evictions.

Parcels on this tab show where landlords have filed at least one eviction in the past year and which landlords/management companies file evictions most frequently.

Selecting VIEW TRENDS will compare counts and percentages of properties with at least one eviction filing in the 6 months and past 12 months across geographic areas.


Occupancy Vacancy status and duration for built structures.

Note that this dataset goes back as far as April 2024.

Parcels on this tab show where vacant or unoccupied built structures (e.g. homes, storefronts, and warehouses) are located and how long they have been unoccupied.

Selecting VIEW TRENDS will compare counts and percentages of vacant properties across geographic areas.


Vacant  Land Lots without any structures.

Parcels on this tab show where vacant lots without any built structures are located.
