Rankings
Highest eviction volumes — states
State and D.C. rankings from Princeton Eviction Lab’s 2016 extract. Judgments and rates are sourced; filing counts are omitted.
Source, not our case book. City and state ranking tables on this site reproduce Princeton Eviction Lab’s published 2016 rankings extract (evictionlab.org/rankings). Those columns are eviction judgments and eviction rates (judgments per 100 renter households) — not filing counts. Eviction Lab’s national 2016 series separately reports filings; that city/state ranking CSV does not. We do not invent filing totals to fill the gap. Get the data from Eviction Lab.
