The geography of eviction filings

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

  1. Eviction filing data for Rhode Island are provided by the Rhode Island Housing Authority.
  2. County-level breakdown of renter race/ethnicity determined using American Community Survey (ACS) estimates for 2016–2020.

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
