Overview:
Eviction is an important issue in housing policy and law, but in Oregon, there has been little research to measure the scope and impact of eviction due to data access challenges. Eviction research at PSU includes building a complete database of eviction court cases and evaluating public policy and legal processes to provide insight on how eviction happens, who gets evicted, and what the consequences of eviction are.
This project tracks and publishes eviction data in the state of Oregon. It also includes a public education and advocacy campaign called Evicted in Oregon to help people better understand the evictions process, eviction data, and policy considerations to inspire change.
