Trends in eviction filings

This plot shows monthly eviction filings in New Mexico over the past 12 months. Filings are displayed relative to average filings for the same set of months across 2023 and 2024 (the “baseline”). You can toggle the plot to display filing counts.1

Eviction filings by defendant race/ethnicity and gender

There are often large racial/ethnic and gender disparities in eviction risk. Here, we estimate the demographic characteristics of those filed against for eviction over the past 12 months. We compare to data from the ACS that show the share of renters in the same categories.1

  • Statistics rely on imputation of race/ethnicity and gender based on defendant names and addresses. We refer to “gender” throughout while acknowledging necessarily limitations of the imputation process and its inability to capture important subtleties in individuals’ gender identification. A complete description of this process can be found in the ETS methods page. ACS data are from 2016-2020 five-year estimates.

The geography of eviction filings

New Mexico is divided into 33 counties. In each, we map the number of eviction filings over the past 12 months. If you toggle below you can see these numbers as eviction filing rates—the number of eviction filings divided by the number of renter households in the county—or compared to the typical number of filings in 2023–2024 (the “baseline”).1 2

On map, we also plot the location of the top 100 eviction hotspots in the county (see above). Hover over the circles to see more information about filings from these locations.3
