Macro context: home prices and national delinquency

Court-filing volume should be read against the broader housing-market backdrop. Indiana's home prices and the national mortgage-delinquency rate are the two macro signals most directly relevant to foreclosure exposure.

The Indiana pre-foreclosure visibility gap

The largest public foreclosure-aggregator interfaces surface only post-auction bank-owned properties in Indiana. Pre-foreclosure court filings are not visible to their non-paying users. Keystone tracks the court filing the day it hits the docket, weeks or months before any property reaches the auction stage those aggregators surface.

Municipal code violations across Indiana

Are properties in court filings also flagged for code violations? By cross-referencing each filing's address against municipal code-enforcement databases, we identify properties with active violations — a signal of deferred maintenance and potential investor opportunity. This analysis covers 36628 properties.

Source: municipal code-enforcement records cross-referenced with court filings by property address. 36628 properties checked, 13290 with at least one violation. Data from municipal open-data portals.

FEMA flood zone exposure across Indiana

Are distressed properties concentrated in flood-prone areas? By checking each property's coordinates against FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, we identify which filings fall in Special Flood Hazard Areas (mandatory flood insurance zones). This analysis covers 8843 properties with geocoded locations.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL), queried by property coordinates. Zones A/AE/AH/AO/V/VE are Special Flood Hazard Areas (1% annual flood chance, mandatory flood insurance). Zone X is minimal risk. 8843 properties checked.
