Overview
The Eviction Filings Dashboard hosts several interactive tools that demonstrate a resurgence of eviction proceedings after a nearly two-year moratorium ended in early 2022, with rates exceeding pre-pandemic levels in 40 of 62 counties. Rates also disproportionately impact low-income communities of color. Trends highlighted by the Cornell ILR Eviction Filings Dashboard for New York state raise red flags about the potential for higher crime, weakened social ties and diminished democratic participation in areas where eviction filings are increasing; researchers have documented these consequences in other states.
Key Findings
The Bronx is home to the ZIP code with the most eviction filings, with roughly one filing for every seven renter households. The community is composed almost entirely of renters, nearly 60% of whom are “cost-burdened,” according to the federal definition, which is spending more than 30% of gross monthly household income on housing.
Another high rate – one eviction filing for roughly every 5.4 renter households – was in a Buffalo ZIP code where the majority of renter families have children, and nearly half of the children live below the federal poverty level.
Among New York State Senate districts, the 33rd and 32nd districts, both in the Bronx, had the highest eviction filing rates. They also ranked in the top five for renter cost burden and poverty.
Recommendations
Alongside the ILR Eviction Filings Dashboard, Co-Lab researchers released a brief that explores connections between eviction filings, public safety, voter turnout and community social ties. Using data from the dashboard, the report recommends at least three actions – good cause eviction protections, housing access vouchers and right to counsel – to curb evictions and promote safety, housing security and democratic participation across New York state.
Research Impact
The tools collected at the ILR Eviction Filings Dashboard were used extensively by statewide housing advocates during the 2023 statewide budgeting process, and they have been highlighted by investigative journalists as valuable resources for answering practical housing-related research questions for communities across the state.
