<p>Are evictions on the uptick in Massachusetts?</p>
<p>I scraped data from the <a target="_new" href="https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/drap4687/viz/MassachusettsTrialCourtSummaryProcessExecutionsIssued/ExecutionsIssd_byWeekMonth">Massachusetts Trial Court</a> to get some insight.</p>
<p>In Massachusetts, landlords can obtain a court order to evict a tenant. The court system's data reflects court orders for possession as well as money judgments since October 2020. That means this dataset isn't just about evictions -- and it won't give us insight into how these figures compare to pre-pandemic levels. The state court system says data is for eviction orders on grounds of non-payment of rent, though adds that Boston Municipal and District Court data includes a "small proportion of eviction cases based on grounds other than non-payment of rent." </p>
<p>In April 2020, Massachusetts imposed a COVID-19 eviction moratorium <a target="_new" href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/health/eviction-protections-extended-ma/J577S5B45RAD5PN6KRICM2RUWI/">that expired</a> in August 2020. </p>
<p>Some localities passed their own eviction moratoriums that have since expired - Boston lifted its own moratorium on <a target="_new" href="https://www.boston.gov/departments/housing/what-do-when-facing-eviction">on March 30, 2022.</a>
<p>Lawmakers have given tenants some help, including protection from eviction in cases where tenants are in the process of getting rental assistance.</p>
<p>But that protection ended March 31, despite <a target="_new" href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/03/21/massachusetts-eviction-moratorium-extension">concern </a>from housing advocates about a potential rise in homelessness and housing instability. </p>
<p>So, how are renters in Massachusetts faring now?</p>

<p>Evictions and money judgments against tenants rose to 1,070 in June 2023 -- a 180% increase from June 2021. </p>
<p>From April to June alone: court orders jumped 60% (up from 669 in April). </p>
<p>How do those numbers compare to pre-2020 levels? According to <a target="_new" href="https://masslandlords.net/policy/eviction-data/outcomes-2019-06/">data on Masslandlords.net, </a> Massachusetts saw 850 judgement orders for non-payment and 231 court-ordered evictions in June 2019. </p>

<p> Overall, Massachusetts courts have issued <strong>about 10,000 eviction orders and/or money judgments </strong> since January 2022 alone.</p>
<p>Since January 2022, communitites with the most eviction orders and money judgments include Springfield, Worcester, Fall River, New Bedford, Lowell, Quincy and Lynn.</p>

<p>I then matched the community data with <a target="_new" href="https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html">Census population estimates</a> to get a sense of where evictions and money judgments are disproportionately high. </p>
<p> I found that evictions and money judgments are disproportionately highest in Fall River, Holyoke, Springfield, Pittsfield and New Bedford. </p>

<p> I then looked at Census data to get a sense of Fall River's demographics in particular.</p>
<img src = "FR.png"></img>
<img src = "MA.png"></img>
<p> Nearly one in five people are living in poverty in Fall River, where median household income is $49,613 in 2021 dollars. </p>
<p> That's double the statewide rate of 1 in ten people in poverty. And across Massachusetts, median household income is about $89,000. </p>
<p> And according to <a target="_new" href="https://censusreporter.org/profiles/06000US2500523000-fall-river-city-bristol-county-ma/">Censusreporter.org </a>, just 15.8% of people in Fall River have a bachelor's degree -- about one-third of the rate in Massachusetts (46.6%).
