In “A comprehensive demographic profile of the US evicted population” we find that Black households are disproportionately affected by eviction. Figure 2 compares the population of renters from the American Community Survey (ACS) to the population of individuals affected by evictions, identified by linking eviction court records to the ACS and Decennial Census. Although Black individuals are only around 10% of renters, they are 20-30% of those facing an eviction filing or eviction decision.
