Brownfields

<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'>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.</p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'><br /></p>
<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'></p>
<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'>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. </p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'><br /></p>
<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'></p>
<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'>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.</p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'><br /></p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Brownfields/Metadata_Brownfields_1113.xls' target='_blank'>field description metadata</a> and a <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Brownfields/Narrative_Brownfields1113_11262014.pdf' target='_blank'>narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of this dataset.</p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'><br /></p><p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;'>For more information about the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.</p>

Vacant Structures by Census Block, Q4 2013 - Q4 2014

<p>In January, 2014, Data Driven Detroit (D3) purchased a license of the 
Valassis Corporation's VNEF Plus database to receive quarterly updates of 
address-level vacancy data. Though the address-level data are restricted by 
confidentiality clauses, D3 processed and aggregated this database to the Census 
block-level to provide high-resolution tracking of structure vacancy in Detroit 
across time. The dataset contains data on the number and percent of vacant 
structures (with whether a parcel contains a structure identified by Motor City 
Mapping survey data) in each of the nearly 16,000 Census blocks in Detroit. The 
data span the timeframe from Q4 2013 through Q4 2014.</p>

Likely Public Ownership, 2013-14

<div>This file identifies likely public ownership based on several categorizations. These include the City of Detroit, the Detroit Land Bank Authority, the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority, the State of Michigan, Wayne County, the United States Government, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, and Detroit Public Schools. The ownership information generally dates from 2013 to early 2014; see the field description metadata for further information.</div><div><br /></div><div>DISCLAIMER: This file seeks to identify parcels that are owned by a governmental or other public entity. However, ownership of properties changes frequently, particularly between public entities, and the data sources that this file is built from date from 2013 through the spring of 2014. Since there has been considerable time for the ownership of some of these properties to change, D3 is producing this file as an indicator of Likely Public Ownership.This file is intended to help highlight the breadth and scale of public ownership in the City of Detroit, and any decisions based off of this file should be confirmed through investigating legal ownership records.</div><div><br /></div><div>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Likely_Public_Ownership/LikelyPublicOwnership_Metadata.xls' target='_blank'>field description metadata</a> and a <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Likely_Public_Ownership/LikelyPublicOwnership_Documentation_11252014_Final.pdf' target='_blank'>narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of the dataset.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more information on the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.</div>

Vacancy Index, November 2014 (Aggregated)

<div>
<p>The D3 vacancy index was designed to provide a more nuanced assessment 
of structural vacancy than the &quot;occupied/unoccupied/maybe&quot; categories used in 
the Motor City Mapping windshield survey. The dataset includes several sources, 
including Motor City Mapping, utility data, and other resources to create a 
score evaluating the occupancy status of a parcel. These values are then coded 
as &quot;Likely Occupied&quot;, &quot;Potentially Vacant&quot;, &quot;Likely Vacant&quot;, and &quot;Very Likely 
Vacant&quot;, helping to show a spectrum of vacancy across Detroit.</p>
<p>Because the vacancy index incorporates proprietary data sources, D3 is 
unable to release the raw values of the index to the public at the address 
level. To allow the public to obtain some of the benefit from this 
highly-effective tool, however, D3 aggregated this data to the Census Tract 
level. This file allows Detroit's policymakers and community members to track 
vacancy across the city using data that is as up-to-date as 
possible.</p><p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Vacancy_Index_Aggregation/Metadata_VacancyIndexAggregation.xls' target='_blank'>field description metadata</a> and a <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Vacancy_Index_Aggregation/VacancyCount_Aggregated_Documentation_Final_12302014.pdf' target='_blank'>narrative summary</a> documenting the creation of the dataset.</p></div>

Schools with Average Commute 2013-14

The Michigan Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI), working with the Michigan Center for Shared Solutions (CSS) provided Data Driven Detroit (D3) with census block codes approximating student residence locations from the October 2013 student count for all students attending a public school in Detroit (DPS, Charter, EAA). With this data, D3 calculated the street-grid distance traveled from home (approximate location) to school for each student that attended a school in Detroit. We then calculated an average distance traveled by students of each school. Ann Arbor Magnet school (and possibly others) is not included in these data due to omission from the original data submission to D3. Average distances were calculated after first removing outlier student locations in counties outside of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw. Distances were calculated using shortest distance routes from schools to the center of the Census Tract of residence.

NESHAP Notifications Tied To Demolition Activity, January 2009 to April 2015

<p>NESHAP is a program of the United States Environmental Protection 
Agency that regulates hazardous air pollutants and ensures that construction and 
demolition activities are in compliance with federal regulations. As a part of 
this program, the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) 
requires notification from all contractors conducting alterations (either 
rehabilitation or demolition) on structures that have the potential to contain a 
hazardous substance such as lead or asbestos, regardless of whether the 
structure is actually found to contain the hazardous material. Because of this 
requirement, NESHAP notifications are an excellent proxy for identifying 
structures that have been demolished.</p>
<p>This dataset contains information on NESHAP notifications that have 
been identified as tied to demolition activity. The notifications date from 2009 
through April, 2015, and have been sourced from the MDEQ's website as well as 
several tables obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The data 
contain information on the contractors for each demolition, the start and end 
date for the notification, and whether the property was surveyed as a 
residential structure in the 2009 Detroit Residential Parcel Survey.</p>

Motor City Mapping, Certified Results, Winter 2013-14 ( Census Tract Aggregation)

<p>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. 
</p>
<p>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.</p><p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/MCM_CertifiedResults_TractAgg/Metadata_MCM_CertifiedResults_12302014.xls' target='_blank'>field description metadata</a> and a <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/MCM_CertifiedResults_TractAgg/MCM_CertifiedResults_Documentation_Final_12302014.pdf' target='_blank'>narrative summary</a> documenting the process of creating the dataset.</p>

Historic Resource Survey

The survey contains data on 17,500 properties in eligible historic districts across the six Hardest-Hit Fund districts. Volunteer surveyors answered three main questions about each property: its architectural integrity (&quot;Architectu&quot;), how in-keeping it was with neighborhood character (&quot;Building_w&quot;), and how intact its block was (&quot;Block_Inta&quot;). These three questions were aggregated into a Historic Preservation Score (HP_SCORE) aimed to help distill the survey data for decision-makers.

Hardest Hit Fund Areas, with Expansion

<p>The Hardest Hit Fund was first designated in 2010 to provide financial 
assistance to 18 states that were particularly impacted by the housing crisis 
that began in 2007. Michigan received nearly $500 million from this fund, which 
was initially intended to provide assistance to homeowners who were either 
unemployed or significantly underwater with their mortgage. However, given the 
high levels of blight in Detroit and other Michigan cities, some of the Hardest 
Hit Fund money was released to be used for structure demolition.</p><p><br /></p>
<p>With the first phase of the program the City of Detroit received 
approximately $52 million, with the money to be spent by Spring 2015 in six 
target areas. The intent of the program was to conduct demolitions in more 
stable neighborhoods to ensure a higher impact of the limited funds that were 
available. However, these areas did not contain enough eligible properties for 
demolition in the time frame allotted for the money to be spent, so the Detroit 
Land Bank Authority expanded the Hardest Hit Fund program to include a number of 
other areas across Detroit. Through November 2014, the Hardest Hit Fund program 
has demolished nearly 2,400 structures in these targeted areas.  This layer was acquired as part of Phase 2 of the Motor City Mapping project.</p><p><br /></p><p>An Excel sheet containing <a href='http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/HHF_Areas_withExpansion/HHF_Areas_withExpansion_Metadata.xls' target='_blank'>field description metadata</a> is available for download.  Follow the links in this description for more information on the Hardest Hit Fund program at both the <a href='http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/TARP-Programs/housing/hhf/Pages/default.aspx' target='_blank'>national level</a> and the <a href='http://www.buildingdetroit.org/our-programs/hardest-hit-funddemolition/' target='_blank'>local level</a>.</p>
