Abstract: Based on data from the Bureau of the Census' 1982 Survey of Real Property Transfer Records, there were an estimated 10.6 million deeds recorded in 1979. Real property transfer records are a potential source of data on land ownership, value, and size. These data are important to professionalgtoups concerned with the development, distribution, and use of land resources. The present limitations of transfer data for studies of land values and ownership could be reduced by standardizing forms and improving coordination among data users.
