08 Sources and limitations

Records as of July 22, 2026.

This area is grouped by proximity from public records — nearby tracked vacant sites linked geographically, never by common ownership. Owner information appears only as a category mix; no owner names or mailing addresses are shown.

Grouping methodology

Proximity clusters: tracked sites within ~100 m linked; contiguous areas larger than ~500 m are divided into sub-areas for intervention planning; minimum five sites. Boundaries are analytical, not parcel-contiguous.
