Are there any statistics on Eminent Domain?

I googled and only found some feeble neglected Quora questions on this. Can anyone help? Any stats on:

How many times has eminent domain been used at any or all levels of government in any year

The monetary value of these claims

The compensation paid out

Since Eminent Domain has a lot of local government this is likely an impossible question to answer, but I'm assuming that at least 1 in a million property lots are affected annually.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that there is a national database regarding eminent domain property seizure. Books like this rely on case studies as anecdotal evidence. Cursory web searches show available data from the state of Texas, but no national databases.

There is, however, a well-made Congressional review from 2006 on eminent domain:

Eminent Domain: Information about Its Uses and Effect on Property Owners and Communities Is Limited

Multiple laws promulgated from federal, state, and local governments set forth how authorities can acquire landÃ¢Â€Â”including by eminent domainÃ¢Â€Â”and how compensation for property owners is determined. Some believe payment limits are too low. The initial step in a project that involves land acquisition is the public review and approval by a public body of a project plan, which is followed by a land valuation process during which title studies and appraisals are completed. During the land acquisition stage, authorities often make a formal offer to the owner and attempt to negotiate the purchase of the property. If the authority cannot locate the owner or the parties cannot agree to a price, among other circumstances, the authorities then begin the formal legal proceedings to acquire the property by eminent domain. Finally, once the property is acquired, authorities may provide relocation assistance that may include monetary payments to cover moving expenses.

Perhaps the information from Texas will satisfy your data needs. If not, you might consider finding the cases referenced by the Eminent Domain report (I was unable to find a federal review more recent than 2006).
