No Data
Before using our map, there are a few things to keep in mind:
You can now view eviction estimates for every county in the United States between 2000 and 2018.
The Eviction Lab and its collaborators have developed a new method to create comprehensive estimates of total eviction filings and households threatened with eviction in areas that were missing or undercounted on the original map.
These estimates contain uncertainty.
Our new map displays data collected directly from state and local courts. In counties where we were unable to collect court data, we used statistical models to create estimates. These estimates contain uncertainty, which is presented as minimum and maximum values that our models suggest are 95% certain to contain the true number. See how to interpret these intervals here and read about their creation here.
What’s different about using estimates?
When you use our data, be sure to do so correctly. With some of our data, you can run a wide range of analyses. But when the data are based on estimates, you need to be careful. For more information, see our FAQ.
Use these files for statistical analysis instead.
It is possible to investigate these types of associations (and many others) in areas where we have court data. Statistical analysis can also be performed on our legacy data, which covers areas where we have high-quality proprietary data. Legacy proprietary data are downloadable here.
Our original map is still available here.
Toggle the Map from “Modeled” to “Original” to view our original map. The original map displays eviction filings, households threatened with eviction, and eviction judgments from proprietary data at every level of geography from states to block groups. Because we know that these data are incomplete for certain areas, we include data-quality flags to aid in interpretation. Read how these data were incorporated into our estimates here.
A full explanation of our methodology is available here. If you have any questions, reach out to us at research@evictionlab.org.
