The Eviction Tracking System

In the states and cities we track, landlords have filed for:

0 evictions since mid-March 2020
0 evictions in the last week

We have been tracking weekly eviction filings since March 2020 to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated policies. In the sections below you can see a summary of the states and cities we track, view detailed reports, and learn more about the Eviction Tracking System.

Note: Starting November 2022, data will be updated monthly on the second Wednesday of each month.

A Looming Eviction Crisis

Current policy responses to the pandemic may be insufficient to prevent a surge in evictions. CARES Act stimulus payments and unemployment insurance–when accessible–will provide families with some support, but in many cases not enough to make ends meet. Some states have passed temporary eviction moratoria, which the Eviction Lab is tracking in the COVID-19 Housing Policy Scorecard, and localities across the country have introduced additional measures. Once these measures expire, however, millions of renters will owe significant amounts of back rent. For many, a displacement and eviction crisis will follow the public health crisis.

There is currently no data infrastructure that allows policymakers, legal and advocacy organizations, journalists, academics, and community members to track displacement and evictions in real time. The Eviction Lab has built the Eviction Tracking System (ETS) to fill this critical gap and to help monitor and respond to eviction hotspots as they emerge. The ETS is designed as a multi-site, open-source, and expandable system for tracking eviction filings as they happen.

We welcome feedback, as well as partnerships with states and localities who wish to work with us in monitoring and responding to emerging eviction hotspots. Ensuring housing security is vital to mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and sustaining health, economic security, and family stability.

Additional Information

The ETS was made possible by the tireless work of our partners at January Advisors (data collection), Legal Services Corporation (data provision), and Hyperobjekt (UI design and development).
A description of the ETS methodology is available here.

We are grateful to the many experts who contributed advice and research assistance to this project. We also want to highlight a number of similar resources developed by other organizations. Information and acknowledgements can be found here.
If you want to see your city or state added to the ETS and can help facilitate access to the necessary data, please contact info@evictionlab.org.

Where’s my city?

The U.S. government does not collect eviction data, and most state governments don’t either. Instead, eviction records are housed within county court systems and can be very difficult to access. The cities represented in the ETS are cities that have the data infrastructure that allow us to track evictions on a weekly basis. We will continue to add more cities as the project develops. We also welcome opportunities to collaborate with local officials and clerks to make this data available.
