Fourteen of the nineteen ground flags recorded in the source are queried. Shares are each ground divided by the 1495 notices filed in 2025, the same figure reported for 2025 in eviction-notices. No names, addresses, notice identifiers or point locations are republished.",
        "limitations": "Ground flags record allegations, not adjudicated findings. Notices are not completed evictions, unique households or an eviction rate. Fourteen of nineteen ground fields are included. Their sum of 1494 does not establish overlap, single ground reporting, or the count in the five unqueried fields. Separate flags may overlap and some notices may lack selected flags. Late filings and revisions can change prior periods.",
