A great way to research San Diego real estate markets!
PolicyMap is a fantastic resource which allows users to explore geographic information, visually via maps, charts and tables. The site collects real estate and mortgage information which can be drilled down to mortgage types – such as sub-prime lending and sub type such as "piggy back" loans, 100% loans known also as 80/20’s. Data vis available for 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Demographic information can be also be displayed giving users a rich visual map interlaid with data. Access to over 4,000 indicators, including educational information, crime stats, along with mortgage data, etc.The site can be searched by census tract, county, school districts, and address among others.
I spent some time on the site last night and found the information to be very revealing. It’s been apparent for quite a while now that parts of North County and the South bay have been hit hard by foreclosures and it’s interesting to see the underlying reasons displayed in all it’s glory.
Here is some of the results I reviewed:
