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.

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.

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

The dataset contains monthly Landlord/Tenant caseload information by court from January 2023- Present. Landlord/Tenant cases include: 1) Eviction- All suits for eviction (recovery of possession of premises) brought to recover possession of real property under Chapter 24 of the Texas Property Code, often by a landlord against a tenant. A claim for rent may be joined with an eviction case if the amount of rent due and unpaid is not more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any. Eviction cases filed on or after September 1, 2023, are governed by Rules 500-507 and 510 for Part V of the Rules of Civil Procedure. 2) Repair and Remedy- A case by a residential tenant under Chapter 92, Subchapter B, of the Texas Property Code to enforce the landlord’s duty to repair or remedy a condition materially affecting the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant. Repair and remedy cases filed on or after September 1, 2013, are governed by Rules 500-507 and 509 of Part V of the Rules of Civil Procedure. Because of the submission deadlines for reports, the most recent monthly data will be two months behind.

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.

Context

This data was gathered from the Cleveland Municipal Court website using a selenium/beautiful soup web scraper. It was then geocoded and grouped by neighborhood. You can find a visualization based on the data and demographic data here: https://cleveland-evictions.herokuapp.com/ A github repo for the visualization and scraper lives here: https://github.com/sdl60660/cleveland_eviction_mapping

Content

The redacted_kaggle_upload.csv contains data on each eviction filing from 2011 to December 2020, as well as associated location data. The defendants' names have been redacted, but plaintiff info, case status, and property info is included.

Inspiration

I've found some anecdotal patterns in the data, but I'd love for someone with better knowledge of evictions, and particularly evictions in Cleveland to give it a look.
