About this data.
The number of foreclosures in Mecklenburg County has spiked since 2003. That's
due largely to increasing foreclosures in neighborhoods of new starter homes,
shown on the map in red.
The almost 11,00 squares on this map represent Mecklenburg single-family home
foreclosures from 2003 through 2007.
The Observer extracted this information from Mecklenburg County property and sales data.
A foreclosure occurs when an owner falls behind on mortgage payments and the
home is seized and sold to pay the debt.
