Temporary policies put in place to protect renters are beginning to expire. To understand how the crisis is affecting evictions, our researchers measured eviction filing activity in 44 cities and counties across the nation.

Note 2/27/2024: There was a previous issue with this dataset that created duplicate rows for each record. This issue has been fixed.

Data includes eviction notices filed with the San Francisco Rent Board per San Francisco Administrative Code 37.9(c). A notice of eviction does not necessarily indicate that the tenant was eventually evicted, so the notices below may differ from actual evictions. Notices are published since January 1, 1997.

The purpose of this project is to leverage the complementary technological skill, expertise, and organizational resources of the partnering organizations to create a database of eviction filings with the purpose of informing and improving the ability of Metro Atlanta policymakers, Non-government Organizations, service providers, tenant organizers, and government entities to understand and respond to eviction-related housing instability, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the intent of this project is to provide access to eviction filings data for research, practice, and policy purposes beyond the immediate threat of COVID-19. This partnership behind this project will collectively work to create the technology necessary to assemble the database of filings and make the filing information available to stakeholders in an understandable, accessible, secure, and responsible manner.About The DataThis data captures formal evictions activity in the metro Atlanta area as it is reflected in county court websites. This data does NOT reflect the number of rental households that undergo forced moves. Research has found that forced moves due to illegal evictions and informal evictions are far larger than the number of tenants displaced through the legal, formal eviction process. While eviction or dispossessory filings are evidence of housing instability, and constitute a negative event for tenants in and of themselves, they are not equivalent to displacement of a tenant. It is difficult to know whether a tenant leaves during a formal eviction process or at what stage of the process this occurs. Eviction filings initiate the process of eviction and are distinct from a "writ of possession" which grants a landlord the legal right to remove a tenant.This data is parsed once a week from the magistrate courts' case record search sites for Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. Once the evictions case data is captured, each case is geocoded based on the defendant's address and the case events are analyzed to identify associated actions. Due to missing, incorrect, or difficult to parse addresses, approximately 1% of all filings are excluded from mapped totals. Analysis of case actions is done with an algorithm that is under development. For this reason, estimates of these actions are currently not included in the aggregated data presented in this tool. These estimates will, however, likely be included in future versions once the algorithm is complete and sufficiently validated. Additionally, due to ongoing improvements in the handling of parsing errors and the occasional lag in filings being entered into courts' online systems, counts will sometimes differ from those previously reported.TeamProject LeadElora Raymond, PhDAssistant ProfessorSchool of City and Regional PlanningGeorgia Institute of TechnologyProject LeadErik Woodworth, MA & MCRPResearch & Application Development CoordinatorData ScientistNeighborhood NexusAtlanta Regional Commission (ARC)Project LeadSarah Stein, JDResearch AdvisorCommunity & Economic DevelopmentFederal Reserve Bank of AtlantaData Acquisition & AnalysisVictor Pearse Haley, MCRPResearch AnalystCommunity & Economic DevelopmentFederal Reserve Bank of AtlantaData Storage & ProcessingGordon (Ge) Zhang, PhDResearch ScientistCenter for Spatial Planning Analytics & Visualization (CSPAV)Georgia Institute of TechnologyData Storage & ProcessingRama Sivakumar, MSSenior Research EngineerCenter for Spatial Planning Analytics & Visualization (CSPAV)Georgia Institute of TechnologyData Storage & ProcessingSubhro Guhathakurta, PhDChairSchool of City & Regional Planning (SCaRP)DirectorCenter for Spatial Planning Analytics & Visualization (CSPAV)Georgia Institute of TechnologyCourt Record Data SourcesFulton County Magistrates, State, and Superior Court Record SearchDeKalb County - Judicial Information SystemGwinnett County Courts - Tyler Odyssey PortalXerox CourtConnect Cobb Magistrate CourtClayton County Court Case InquiryOther Data SourcesUS Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year estimates, 2014-2018ResourcesFAQ on National Eviction Moratorium provided by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC)This page provides an explanation of the eviciton moratorium (effective Sept. 4th, 2020 to Dec. 31st, 2020) issued by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

A statewide listing of District Court of Maryland Eviction Case Data & its Process. Maryland enacted a new law in 2022 requiring the District Court of Maryland to collect and report eviction case data. Additionally, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development is required to host a dashboard for the public to view and analyze the information, as well as produce an annual report on evictions. The District Court began collecting the eviction case data required under the law on January 1, 2023, and the public dashboard was launched in May 2023.

As of November 2023, this map has been updated to use a new format. For details, please see here.

This dataset lists executed evictions within the five boroughs for the years 2017-Present (data prior to January 1, 2017, is not available). The data fields may be sorted by 20 categories of information including Court Index Number, Docket Number, Eviction Address, Marshal First or Last Name, Borough, etc.. Eviction data is compiled from New York City Marshals. City Marshals are independent public officials appointed by the Mayor. Marshals can be contacted directly regarding evictions, and their contact information can be found at https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doi/offices/marshals-list.page.

A growing body of research suggests that housing eviction is more common than previously recognized and may play an important role in the reproduction of poverty. The proportion of children affected by housing eviction, however, remains largely unknown. We estimate that 1 in 7 children born in large American cities in 1998–2000 experienced at least one eviction for nonpayment of rent or mortgage between birth and age 15. Rates of eviction were substantial across all cities and demographic groups studied, but children from disadvantaged backgrounds were most likely to experience eviction. Among those born into deep poverty, we estimate that about 1 in 4 were evicted by age 15. Given prior evidence that forced moves have negative consequences for children, we conclude that the high prevalence and social stratification of housing eviction are sufficient to play an important role in the reproduction of poverty and warrant greater policy attention.

Abstract

Due to this year's mobility restrictions across the region implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, national needs assessments have identified a higher risk/impact of evictions for the Venezuelan refugee and migrant populations, linked to the reduction or loss of livelihoods as well as to increased xenofobia and discrimination. The Protection Sector of the Regional Coordination Platform for the response to refugees and migrants from Venezuela (R4V) implemented the initiative of a regional, systematic data collection process to assess the magnitude and characteristics of the situation, as well as to identify risk profiles and factors, to better design protection strategies that led to the development of a regional toolbox for the mitigation of evictions risks available here: https://www.r4v.info/en/evictiontools

Sampling procedure

Evicted households or at risk of eviction were identified in three ways at national/regional level: i) through existing call centers; ii) during assistance provision processes, iii) on shelters or temporary settlements with presence of regional protection sector members. A sampling was not established due to lack of data or information on the topic.

With the inclusion of these 202 records, the conclusions at country level of any analysis produced with this dataset may slightly differ from the ones published in the report launched in February 2021.

Abstract

The purpose of the SEPHER data set is to allow for testing, assessing and generating new analysis and metrics that can address inequalities and climate injustice. The data set was created by Tedesco, M., C. Hultquist, S. E. Char, C. Constantinides, T. Galjanic, and A. D. Sinha.

Methodology

SEPHER draws upon four major source datasets: CDC Social Vulnerability Index, FEMA National Risk Index, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and Evictions datasets. The data from these source datasets have been merged, cleaned, and standardized and all of the variables documented in the data dictionary.

CDC Social Vulnerability Index

CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) dataset is a dataset prepared for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the purpose of assessing the degree of social vulnerability of American communities to natural hazards and anthropogenic events. It contains data on 15 social factors taken or derived from Census reports as well as rankings of each tract based on these individual factors, groups of factors corresponding to four related themes (Socioeconomic, Household Composition & Disability, Minority Status & Language, and Housing Type & Transportation) and overall. The data is available for the years 2000, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2018.

FEMA National Risk Index

The National Risk Index (NRI) dataset compiled by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) consists of historic natural disaster data from across the United States at a tract-level. The dataset includes information about 18 natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, volcanic activity and many others. Each disaster is detailed out in terms of its frequency, historic impact, potential exposure, expected annual loss and associated risk. The dataset also includes some summary variables for each tract including the total expected loss in terms of building loss, human loss and agricultural loss, the population of the tract, and the area covered by the tract. It finally includes a few more features to characterize the population such as social vulnerability rating and community resilience.

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) dataset contains loan-level data for home mortgages including information on applications, denials, approvals, and institution purchases. It is managed and expanded annually by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau based on the data collected from financial institutions. The dataset is used by public officials to make decisions and policies, uncover lending patterns and discrimination among mortgage applicants, and investigate if lenders are serving the housing needs of the communities. It covers the period from 2007 to 2017.

Evictions

The Evictions dataset is compiled and managed by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University and consists of court records related to eviction cases in the United States between 2000 and 2016. Its purpose is to estimate the prevalence of court-ordered evictions and compare eviction rates among states, counties, cities, and neighborhoods. Besides information on eviction filings and judgments, the dataset includes socioeconomic and real estate data for each tract including race/ethnic origin, household income, poverty rate, property value, median gross rent, rent burden, and others.

Researchers employed longitudinal policy surveillance to comprehensively describe state responses to the eviction crisis resulting from the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing through the end of substantive state intervention. The study relied on an exhaustive collection of all emergency orders and legislation that controlled the eviction process, related to protections under federal moratoria, or provided support to tenants and that were issued by state governors, courts, and legislative bodies between March 13, 2020 and March 1, 2022. Researchers developed a dynamic, novel dataset consisting of over 50 indicators which captured the temporal and substantive features of these moratoria and renter-supportive measures. To confirm that the dataset was complete, researchers provided state governors and court officials with lists of collected orders from their states and incorporated any needed additions. From this validated dataset, researchers created a time series cross-sectional dataset that tracked changes in a state’s overall eviction moratoria and supportive measures over time. For a complete description of the variables tracked, please see the codebooks included with the dataset.

In several cooperatively breeding species, subordinates that do not help sufficiently are punished or evicted from the group by dominant individuals. The credibility of dominant eviction threats may vary with the social context beyond the group level: when subordinates can easily breed in a neighboring territory, dominant may be less able to demand help from subordinates. Further, dominant ability to enforce subordinate cooperation may be reduced when it is difficult to replace evicted subordinates or in small groups where each subordinate makes a large contribution to group productivity. Here, we develop a two-player game theoretic model to examine how the social context influences subordinate help and the threshold of help at which dominants evict subordinates. In contract to predictions, we found that dominants demand more help when dominants are less able to replace evicted subordinates, suggesting that dominants punish a dereliction of helping behavior more strongly when they are u...

Across the animal kingdom, males advertise their quality to potential mates. Males of low reproductive quality, such as those that are sick, may be excluded from mating. In eusocial species, there is some evidence that reproductive females gauge the quality of their mates. However, males often spend much more time with non-reproductive females as they are raised or, for some species, when they return from unsuccessful mating flights. Do non-reproductive workers evaluate the quality of male reproductives? Here we address this question using male honey bees (Apis mellifera), called drones, as a model. We generated immune-challenged drones by injecting them with lipopolysaccharide and tested: 1) do workers evict immune-challenged drones from their colony, 2) do cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles, body size, or mass change when drones are immune-challenged, and 3) are these changes used by workers to exclude low quality males from the colony? We found that an immune challenge causes chang..., , , # Drone Eviction Assay Raw Data

This dataset includes the data used to develop Maps 8 and 9 for the Connect SoCal 2024 Equity Analysis Technical Report, adopted on April 4, 2024. The dataset includes two fields with information about gentrification during two time periods (2000-2010 and 2010-2019) in the SCAG region based on ACS data. In this dataset, gentrification is defined as: (1) tract median household income in the bottom 40 percent of the countywide income distribution at the beginning of the period, (2) increase in college-educated people (as the percentage of population aged 25 years and older at the beginning of the period) in the top 25 percent of the countywide distribution, (3) no less than 100 people aged 25 years at the beginning of the period, and (4) over 50 percent of the tract land area within a census defined urbanized area. The dataset also includes a field with information about areas with a high number of eviction filings between 2010 and 2018 in the SCAG region with data from the Eviction Lab. In this dataset, "high eviction filings" is defined as an average annual eviction filing rate over three. This dataset was prepared to share more information from the maps in Connect SoCal 2024 Equity Analysis Technical Report.
