Ypsi Twp: Foreclosures

An article in the Data Driven Detroit newsletter looks at tax foreclosures in the metro Detroit region. In addition to providing a primer on Michigan’s tax foreclosure process, the article looks at jurisdictions in the four-county region (Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne) in terms of tax foreclosures per square mile. “Communities such as Novi Township, Ypsilanti Township, Royal Oak Township, and Hazel Park are now also local centers of tax foreclosure, with rates similar to those in Detroit in 2007 or 2008. As the map suggests, tax foreclosures are most concentrated in and around Detroit and its inner-ring suburbs, although more distant areas like Eastern Washtenaw County and central Macomb County have pockets of significant tax foreclosure activity.” [Source]
