HUD's list is one row per filed case; only counts are kept. A case can cite several bases, so the bases add up to more than the cases.","key":"jurisdiction","count":2790,"keys":[{"key":"AK","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/AK.json","records":14},{"key":"AL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/AL.json","records":59},{"key":"AR","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/AR.json","records":73},{"key":"AZ","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/AZ.json","records":16},{"key":"CA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/CA.json","records":59},{"key":"CO","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/CO.json","records":46},{"key":"CT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/CT.json","records":9},{"key":"DC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/DC.json","records":2},{"key":"DE","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/DE.json","records":5},{"key":"FL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/FL.json","records":66},{"key":"GA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/GA.json","records":131},{"key":"GU","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/GU.json","records":2},{"key":"HI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/HI.json","records":7},{"key":"IA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/IA.json","records":92},{"key":"ID","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/ID.json","records":40},{"key":"IL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/IL.json","records":93},{"key":"IN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/IN.json","records":93},{"key":"KS","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/KS.json","records":80},{"key":"KY","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/KY.json","records":95},{"key":"LA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/LA.json","records":62},{"key":"MA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MA.json","records":15},{"key":"MD","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MD.json","records":25},{"key":"ME","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/ME.json","records":18},{"key":"MI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MI.json","records":80},{"key":"MN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MN.json","records":74},{"key":"MO","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MO.json","records":101},{"key":"MS","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MS.json","records":61},{"key":"MT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/MT.json","records":24},{"key":"NC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NC.json","records":94},{"key":"ND","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/ND.json","records":30},{"key":"NE","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NE.json","records":65},{"key":"NH","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NH.json","records":11},{"key":"NJ","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NJ.json","records":22},{"key":"NM","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NM.json","records":31},{"key":"NV","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NV.json","records":15},{"key":"NY","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/NY.json","records":64},{"key":"OH","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/OH.json","records":89},{"key":"OK","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/OK.json","records":65},{"key":"OR","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/OR.json","records":35},{"key":"PA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/PA.json","records":64},{"key":"PR","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/PR.json","records":61},{"key":"RI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/RI.json","records":6},{"key":"SC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/SC.json","records":48},{"key":"SD","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/SD.json","records":30},{"key":"TN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/TN.json","records":89},{"key":"TX","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/TX.json","records":199},{"key":"US","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fair-housing/jurisdictions/US.json","records":1},{"key":"UT","url":"
