Class action: Cook County’s tax sale process discriminates vs Black, Latino homeowners – Cook County Record

The complaint rooted its racial discrimination claim in an alleged disproportionate effect on minority homeowners. It said that in 2021, 75% of  homes sold off through Cook County’s tax sale were in Black or Latino neighborhoods, while broader population data shows only 52% of the county’s population identifies as Black, Latino or two or more races.
