What you see on this site are bulk speculative property owners in
the city of Detroit. It includes the name of owners listed by the
City of Detroit Assessors Office. It also includes owner or member
names of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), shell corporations
that protect assets and hide identities.

The intent is to offer a more complete understanding of how
speculative property ownership is actively shaping the conditions
of Detroit neighborhoods. We hope this information allows
community groups, activists, and individuals to take a more direct
role in shaping the places they live.

Bulk ownership is defined as 10 or more properties. We pull all
owners of ten or more properties from the City of Detroit Assessor
Data. We update the assessor data with Wayne County Tax
Foreclosure sales as these are not currently included in the
Assessor data. We manually review corporation filings with the
State of Michigan or the state in which Limited Liability
Corporations are incorporated. From these records we identify
company ownership. We sample property conditions for owners
utilizing Google Street View.
This project relies heavily on the accuracy and availability of
public data provided by the City of Detroit via the City Assessor.
The project is focused on examining bulk ownership, which is
defined as ten or more properties. We pull all owners of ten or
more properties from the parcel file that we annually download
from the City of Detroit on September 1st.
