Abstract
ABSTRACT To curtail housing instability secondary to financial hardship during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, many states as well as the federal government issued eviction moratoria. Unfortunately, the effective period of federal and state eviction moratoria briefly did not overlap in the state of Indiana. This study examines the overall eviction count, geography of evictions, and amount of money owed in each eviction within Tippecanoe County, Indiana, from 14 August 14 August to 4 September 20204 September 2020 and compares those metrics to their levels during the same time period in 2019 by utilizing public court records of the Tippecanoe County Fourth Superior Court. Overall, the number of evictions increased by 28% year over year, with evictions increasing by 500, 700, and 1,000% in Census Tracts 4, 11, and 2, respectively.
