Ohio Property Records

Ohio is the seventh-largest state in the US, yet it keeps its property records scattered in 88 different places. This project brings that data into one place, together with an attorney to sort through the legalese. The aim is to increase transparency and look at land rights issues throughout the whole state, which right now is not even possible. Who are the biggest landowners in Ohio? Where are housing prices the most depressed and why?
