Note: This database contains all inspection reports made available to the public by HUD from 2013 to March 2019. If a property is inspected multiple times within a short time period, it is possible that HUD has not publicly released all of those inspection scores. Data for multifamily complexes only includes facilities with an active HUD contract. This demographic data comes from HUD’s website, but it was submitted by local housing authorities and property owners, and it may not reflect the most current demographic makeup. The total number of residents and HUD units are self-reported by the housing authority. Because figures for each property are reported separately and in different years, the grand total may not match.
