Published by Office of Policy Development and Research, GIS Helpdesk and Open Data Division | Department of Housing and Urban Development | Catalog Last Checked: October 16, 2026 at 08:19 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 24, 2025 at 07:46 PM
This service denotes HUD designated Revitalization Areas - areas eligible for discounted sale of HUD-owned single family properties through special programs - by 2010 U.S. Census Block Groups. Revitalization Areas are HUD-designated geographic areas authorized by Congress under provisions of the National Housing Act intended to promote "revitalization, through expanded homeownership opportunities.” HUD-owned single-family properties located in a Revitalization Areas are eligible for discounted sale through special programs, including the Asset Control Areas (ACA) Program, and the Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Program. Revitalization Areas are HUD-designated geographic areas authorized by Congress under provisions of the National Housing Act intended to promote "revitalization, through expanded homeownership opportunities.” HUD-owned single-family properties located in a Revitalization Areas are eligible for discounted sale through special programs, including the Asset Control Areas (ACA) Program, and the Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Program. Revitalization Areas are determined by comparing a block group's median household income and home ownership rate to the respective rates of the surrounding area. If the block group is located in a CBSA Metropolitan area, then the metro area is used. However, if the block group is located in a Non-Metro area, then the state rate is used. This dataset also provides several variables relating to REO, and FHA activity in the block group including: - Average REO sales price over the last 12 months; - 90-day FHA defaults; - 90-day FHA defaults in foreclosure; - Active FHA-insured single-family loans; - Active REO properties, and; - A 2-year history of REO closings. Data for owner-occupied housing units is derived from the 2010 Census SF1 tables. Data for median household income, and home ownership rates are provided by American Community Survey 5-year (2007-2011). Data for HUD single family FHA loans, and REO provided by the Single-Family Data Warehouse.
