TLDR
In 2020, there were 224 cases of eminent domain cases reported in Texas alone. The majority of the money won in a settlement will go to the property owner. A study found that 58% of residents that get their property taken through eminent domain are renters. In Chicago, over 75% of cases are able to obtain a higher price for their property. In Texas, it was reported that five agencies failed to meet the legislative burden of the state of Texas to prove that they met the requirements to utilize eminent domain.via the TL;DR App
