Understanding how eviction prevention policies during the pandemic affect death rates among different racial groups
Examining the Impact of Pandemic Eviction Prevention Policies on Racial Inequalities in Mortality
This study looks at how eviction prevention policies during the pandemic affected death rates among different racial and ethnic groups, especially focusing on vulnerable renters like Black and Hispanic women, to help understand how keeping people in their homes can improve health outcomes.

What this research studies
This research investigates the impact of eviction prevention policies implemented during the pandemic on mortality rates among various racial and ethnic groups. By analyzing data on eviction filings and linking it with Census Bureau microdata, the study aims to uncover how these policies may have influenced death rates, particularly among vulnerable populations such as Black, Hispanic, and female renters. The research will explore variations in policy implementation across different locations and times, providing valuable insights into the relationship between housing security and health outcomes. Ultimately, the findings could inform future policies aimed at reducing health disparities related to housing instability.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals aged 21 and older who have experienced eviction or housing insecurity, particularly those from Black, Hispanic, and female demographics.
Not a fit: Patients who are not affected by eviction or housing instability may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved eviction prevention policies that enhance health equity and reduce mortality rates among at-risk populations.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has indicated that housing stability is closely linked to health outcomes, suggesting that this approach could yield significant insights into health disparities.
