Description
This dataset includes foreclosure records for all properties that were in some stage of the foreclosure process during that calendar year. An additional feature of this dataset is that CARRA has appended MAF ID's to all address-level records for which a MAF ID could be assigned. The MAF ID can then serve as a matching key for whatever housing unit matching that one might want to accomplish with records from current surveys or the decennial census for which the MAF ID is provided.
This data was made available under the stipulation that they can be used only for internal Census Bureau research. Any analysis solely focusing on the foreclosure records cannot be published. The main purpose of these foreclosure records is their use in conjunction with various Census Bureau survey or decennial census records. Analysis focusing on the use of merged foreclosure/survey records can be published since the merged data are Title 13 Census Bureau data.
