Woodstock Institute is a nonprofit organization and a strong advocate of housing issues in Chicago. The organization has been collecting foreclosure data in the Chicago metropolitan area. The foreclosure data is now accessible through the Woodstock Institute’s website and also through Everyblock Chicago website (http://chicago.everyblock.com/foreclosures/).

The NU Library owns the Woodstock’s Chicago Area Community Lending Fact Book data on CD (1999-2004, tract level.)

HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) local level foreclosure data is a statistically generated dataset to estimate a foreclosure rate as small as at a tract level. The data was created, under a new law, Economic Recovery Act of 2008, to assist local efforts to sustain high risk neighborhoods by acquiring and redeveloping foreclosed properties. Since foreclosure data is not readily available (no public & nationwide data sources available), some users may find the data useful. Remember: the data is not actual data but estimated numbers using public datasets – read the methdoroloogy document!
