Methodology & sources

  • Foreclosure activity — two public-record stages of a Missouri
    non-judicial foreclosure: the recorded successor-trustee filing (the start of the
    process, which an owner can still cure) and the published trustee-sale notice
    (roughly 21 days before auction). Deduplicated by property, so a filing seen at
    both stages, or published on several dates, counts once.
  • Owner type — owner-of-record / borrower name classified investor / bank /
    trust / individual by entity name pattern; only the category is kept, the name is discarded.
  • Monthly figures — bucketed by the date a filing was captured from
    the public record, never by the scheduled auction date (which is a future
    date and would shift volume into the wrong month). Where a record carries no
    capture date of its own, the date of the collection run that retrieved it is
    used. The first and current months are partial and marked as such.
  • Coverage — St. Charles County, Missouri. St. Louis County and St. Louis City are not included: our public-record capture there is not yet complete enough to publish.
  • No personal data — a hard filter drops every name, address, parcel, and
    contact field before any figure reaches this page — every number here is a count or a share.
