How many people are affected by eviction in the United States? In a new paper in PNAS, my co-authors and I provide a more comprehensive answer to this question by linking eviction court filings to Census data. We find that the number of people affected by eviction is much larger than the number of people listed on the eviction records because many households include children and other adults who are not named in the court documents. Figure 1 of the paper shows who was missed for both eviction filings (purple bars) and eviction orders (yellow bars). In both cases, the total population affected (furthest left bars on chart A) is much larger than the number of people listed on the eviction (the second set of bars for “Listed adults”).
