The geography of eviction filings

El Paso Map

  1. Average eviction filings taken from Eviction Lab data for 2012–2015
  2. Tract racial majority determined using American Community Survey (ACS) estimates for 2016–2020

    On map, we also plot the location of the top 100 eviction hotspots in the city (see above). Hover over the circles to see more information about filings from these locations.3

Eviction filings by defendant race/ethnicity and gender

There are often large racial/ethnic and gender disparities in eviction risk. Here, we estimate the demographic characteristics of those filed against for eviction over the past 12 months. We compare to data from the ACS that show the share of renters in the same categories.1

  • Statistics rely on imputation of race/ethnicity and gender based on defendant names and addresses. We refer to “gender” throughout while acknowledging necessarily limitations of the imputation process and its inability to capture important subtleties in individuals’ gender identification. A complete description of this process can be found in the ETS methods page. ACS data are from 2016-2020 five-year estimates.
