Banking.PGH.002 Mortgage Foreclosures in Allegheny County
Context
Introduction
The available data table provides the dates of mortgage foreclosure filings in Allegheny County, the parcel identifiers (which allow linking to many other records, including assessed property value, sales history, and the nature of the property (e.g., home vs. apartment building vs. business location)), the amount that the lender is suing the property owner for, and the name of the lender. This data provides a history of foreclosure attempts from January of 2009 to the present day. ((Narratives to avoid: “Determine risk of mortgage based on various aggregate property attributes.” That way lies discriminatory redlining!))Role
