The number of families evicted from their homes in suburbs across the country has been on the rise for years, according to a report from Princeton University’s Eviction Lab.

Researchers compiled eviction judgment records from 74 U.S. metropolitan areas and found that as the number of evictions in city centers held steady from 2000 to 2016, the share of evictions in suburban areas increased in 58 of the metropolitan areas.

The Cleveland-Elyria, Ohio, metropolitan area experienced the largest increase in suburban evictions. In 2000, suburban evictions made up 43% of the area’s total evictions, and increased by 2016 to 55%.

The report shows the number of households evicted in American suburbs is almost on par with the number of evictions in downtown, urban neighborhoods.
