Foreclosure records from calendar year 2009

Added: Jun 18, 2010 12:00 pm Modified: Jun 24, 2010 11:49 amTrack Changes The Census Bureau serves as the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy. We honor privacy, protect confidentiality, share our expertise globally, and conduct our work openly. We are guided on this mission by our strong and capable workforce, our readiness to innovate, and our abiding commitment to our customers.
As part of the process for producing quality data, The Census Bureau would like to enhance the value of the housing data produced from current surveys by obtaining foreclosure records for homes experiencing "mortgage distress" and appending this information to already existing surveys to understand better the characteristics of housing unit and the household members (in the case of occupied units). Providing this information would fill an important gap in knowledge that would help guide developing policy toward housing and housing finance.

In Accordance with FAR Part 13(Simplified Acquisitions Procedures), The Bureau of the Census needs to procure a complete existing National Dataset for the year 2009 of all housing units that experienced some form of "mortgage distress". Housing units are considered to experience "mortgage distress" should one or more of the following events occur:
1. Receive a notice of default
2. Receive a notice of trustee sale, or
3. They become real-estate owned (REO - bank owned).

If a particular housing unit experienced several different stages of mortgage distress in 2009 (and, thus, appears several times in the file), only the most recent stage reported is requested for the proposed foreclosure dataset.
Data Requirements

a. Address of affected property
i. Street Address
ii. Apartment number (if a condo unit)
iii. City

h. Data action entered
i. Auction date - if applicable
j. Information about the housing unit
i. Number of bedrooms
ii. Number of bathrooms
iii. Square footage of house
iv. Number of stories
v. Year built


Retention:
The Census Bureau will retain ownership of the records.

Two soft copies of the deliverable on a medium mutually acceptable to the Offeror and the Census Bureau shall be delivered or available via FTP downloand to the Census Bureau on the indicated date. The deliverables will be forwarded or made available via FTP download to the Assistant Division Chief for Housing Characteristics.
