Research for social good.

We create things that can't be unseen. The Eviction Research Network collects, analyzes, & maps eviction data while helping other researchers map & analyze theirs. We specialize in using social & data science to analyze racial & gender disparities in eviction & urban theory to help explain our findings. Our goal is to expand public & scholarly knowledge on the prevalence & drivers of evictions in under-studied regions, highlight work from scholars in the field, & provide evidence-based research that legislatures, practitioners, & advocates can use to inform policy.

National Housing Precarity Risk Model

Introducing the The Housing Precarity Risk Model (HPRM), a forecast of where renters face the greatest combined risk of eviction, displacement, and long‑term poverty.

By integrating estimates of eviction risk with indicators of displacement vulnerability and pandemic‑era unemployment, the model highlights neighborhoods where housing precarity is most severe. These maps give policymakers, advocates, and service providers a data-driven tool to target resources, design anti-displacement strategies, and advance housing equity.
