Downtown
How Downtown has changed over the past decade, from the city's own records — each count set against Oakland as a whole, and nothing scored.
No Oakland feed tags a record with a neighborhood, so each count here was asked of the city's own published boundary rather than read off a label. The 311 feed publishes its coordinates as text rather than as a point, so its count is the neighborhood's bounding box rather than its outline. There are no permit or violation counts because the city publishes neither.

Reading this
- How to read a property record — what a comparison like “1.7× the city average” actually claims, and what it does not.
- Why there are no permits in an Oakland report — what the city does not publish, and where to look instead.
- What seven roll years show that one does not — the staircase Proposition 13 builds, and the step where a building sold.
- What the records will not tell you — the gaps, stated.
Every record on one address in Downtown
A neighborhood is the backdrop. Scan the Block puts thirty sections on a single parcel — seven years of the county's assessed value, what is standing on it, the tax rate on it, zoning, seven hazard layers, the schools and buses nearby, and what was reported on its block — in one report you can forward.
