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 across the United States.

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.
