In 2009, Data Driven Detroit partnered with Living Cities, the Detroit Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Response and Community Legal Resources (Michigan Community Resources) to conduct a survey of 1-4 unit residential structures and vacant lots in the City of Detroit. Surveyors went out in the field in August and September of 2009, and following this, data were entered into a database and cleaned. The survey collected information on property type, condition, vacancy, danger to the surrounding community, fire damage, and improvements on vacant lots.For more information on the DRPS, including aggregations and maps of the original data, please visit www.detroitparcelsurvey.org.Upon request, field description metadata is also available for this dataset.

This data is intended as a reference material of street and alley vacations, but not designed for survey, accurate positioning, or legal documents. It is created as polygon feature class, vacation information based on field measurements, types of Right of Way, and citations of Journal of the Common Council (J.C.C.) and the plat Liber and Page is listed under the column titled 'Sub_Plat'. The paper maps of the Street and Alley Vacation, the raster layer version of those maps (Linen Map Markup Mosaic), and the Detroit parcel layer are used as base maps to create this data.

The street and alley vacations were recorded from 1831 to 2022 throughout the whole city, and it will be updated weekly. The existed and/or active street and alley vacations are ready to view, the authors are working on pending and historical records.

In the fall of 2013, the Detroit Blight Removal Task Force commissioned Data Driven Detroit, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and LOVELAND Technologies to conduct a survey of every parcel in the City of Detroit. The goal of the survey was to collect data on property condition and vacancy. The effort, called Motor City Mapping, leveraged relationships with the Rock Ventures family of companies and the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation to assemble a dedicated team of over 200 resident surveyors, drivers, and quality control associates. Data collection occurred from December 4, 2013 until February 16, 2014, and the initiative resulted in survey information for over 370,000 parcels of land in the city of Detroit, identifying condition, occupancy, and use. The data were then extensively reviewed by the Motor City Mapping quality control team, a process that concluded on September 30, 2014. This file contains the official certified results from the Winter 2013/2014 survey, aggregated to 2010 Census Tracts for easy mapping and analysis. The topics covered in the dataset include totals and calculated percentages for parcels in the categories of illegal dumping, fire damage, structural condition, existence of a structure or accessory structure, and improvements on lots without structures.Metadata associated with this file includes field description metadata and a narrative summary documenting the process of creating the dataset.

This is a collection of layers created by Tian Xie(Intern in DDP) in August, 2018. This collection includes Detroit Parcel Data(Parcel_collector), InfoUSA business data(BIZ_INFOUSA), and building data(Building). The building and business data have been edited by Tian during field research and have attached images.The original source for these layers are: Business Data: InfoUSA business database purchased by DDP in 2017Building Data: Detroit Building Footprint data Parcel Data: from Detroit Open Data Portal, download in May 2018.For field research by Tian, some fields have been added and some records in building and business have been edited. For business data, Tian confirmed most of public assessable businesses and deleted those which do not exist. Also, Tian add new Business to the business data if it did not exist on the record. For building data, Tian recorded the total business space for each building, not-empty business space, occupancy status, parking adjacency status, and took picture for every building in downtown Detroit.

A vacant building is defined as "a structure that is unoccupied for more than thirty (30) days, unsecured or secured by other than normal means, illegally occupied, or poses an imminent danger to the health and safety of the surrounding residents, properties or the general public." Buildings that meet this definition must be registered with BSEED as Vacant Properties.

The street and alley openings were recorded from 1831 to 2022 throughout the whole city, and it will be updated weekly. The existed and/or active street and alley openings are ready to view, the authors are working on missing and historical records.

This layer includes the Master Plan neighborhoods in Detroit as of May 2015.

The analyst downloaded the raw data used to develop this dataset from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Pursuant to statutory guidelines under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), the DEQ is required to “post on its website an inventory of residential closures and a separate inventory of other known facilities.” For the purposes of this dataset, “residential closures”have not been included; these were submitted to the DEQ in a No Further Action Report and satisfy remediation standards for Residential Facilities. All“other known facilities” available are included in the Inventory of Facilities dataset that serves as the foundation for this layer.

The Inventory of Facilities includes all locations where there have been a release of hazardous substances as defined under multiple subsets of NREPA. Although this list is commonly referred to as Brownfields, it can contain other types of designations including but not limited to: Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST), Baseline Environmental Site Assessments (BEAs) and Environmental Site Assessments. Each of these designations requires further action, and the sites are pursuing cleanup in conjunction with the DEQ.

It is also important to mention that this inventory does not necessarily include every facility that is subject to NREPA’s guidelines, since owners are not required to inform the DEQ about the facilities and can pursue cleanup independently. Facilities that are not known to the DEQ are not on the inventory, nor are locations with releases that resulted in little or no environmental impact.Metadata associated with this file includes field description metadata and a narrative summary detailing the creation of this dataset.For more information about the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.

This dataset contains the locations of all properties that have been sold by the Detroit Land Bank Authority under their side lot program. This program sells vacant lots to adjacent homeowners for a small fee in exchange for the homeowner agreeing to maintain the empty parcel. More information on the side lot program can be found here: http://www.buildingdetroit.org/our-programs/side-lot-sales/. This dataset includes information on purchasers, as well as the costs and dates for each transaction. Field description metadata are available for download to provide more detail on the specific contents of the dataset. The analyst downloaded these data in their raw format from the City of Detroit's Open Data Portal on March 31, 2015. The anaylst then geocoded the data to spatialize the properties and assign parcel IDs to the records. Finally, the analyst removed duplicate records from the database.
