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

Rhode Island is divided into five counties. In each of those counties, 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 area—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
