A group called Why Don't We Own This?, WDWOT, has launched a map of all properties in the city of Detroit that is color-coded to show how close the property is to foreclosure.
And the map shows all properties in the city.
In the past, WDWOT has provided a map for the Wayne County tax foreclosure auction that displays which foreclosed properties are up for bid.
Colors range from yellow to red, indicating how close a property is to foreclosure.
From the WDWOT website:
Why Don’t We Own This? is a service by LOVELAND Technologies that displays every property in a city and provides meaningful lenses to understand property information including:

Social Channels to comment and connect with others
Additional tools for those who join our $25 annual membership program
The focus of Why Don’t We Own This? is Detroit, Michigan. We started WDWOT in 2011 to track the Wayne County Foreclosure Auction. Each year our work has grown along with the size and scale of the foreclosure auction and its effect on the City of Detroit, and now we're branching out to provide more year-round property and land use services.
