The Housing Precarity Risk Model (HPRM) estimates where households are at the highest risk of eviction, displacement, and long-term poverty as a result of the COVID-19 recession interacting with pre-existing precarity. The aim of this work is to better understand racial and economic disparities in housing and opportunities while providing state and local governments a tool to target needed resources to those that need it most. The eviction side of this research is a continuation of The Evictions Study where we collect and scrape court record data to observe eviction dynamics in under-represented areas.
The project aims to understand the nature of gentrification, and displacement, and exclusion in American cities. It focuses on creating tools to help communities identify the pressures surrounding them and take more effective action.
