Black Forest Fire map of homes destroyed

CU News Corps students have produced a map of properties destroyed by the Black Forest Fire in Colorado Springs as of  1 p.m. June 19, based on information from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, the El Paso County Assessor and Zillow.

Be aware that the sheriff’s office is not guaranteeing the accuracy of their information – we are unable to find 23 properties on Zillow or in the assessor database. There are some geocoding issues because the most recent list included addresses with 0 for the street number.

We’ll provide summary statistics when the list is more stable.

Here's a dorky video about how we put our spreadsheet together.
