In the United States, adult renters with children were more likely to be evicted than renters without, according to a recent study by Princeton and Rutgers University along with the U.S. Census Bureau. The study linked 38 million eviction court cases to census data to show that 7.6 million people, including 2.9 million children, faced the threat of eviction each year between 2007 and 2016.

Adult renters living with at least one child in their home were threatened with eviction at an annual rate of 10.4%, compared with 5.0% for those without children. The data also shows racial disparities, especially for Black women who were threatened with eviction at a rate of about 28% with children and 16% for those without. Between 2007 and 2016, roughly one in five Black adult renters was living in a household filed against for eviction and roughly one in 10 was evicted each year.
