Students Are Encouraged to Participate in Our June 11th Webinar on Eviction and Urban Inequality!
Eviction data collected by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University provides a picture of housing instability across the United States, with especially high eviction rates in some urban regions in the south.
In our upcoming webinar, participants will be introduced to ongoing policy-relevant research based in Richmond VA, Lexington KY, and Kansas City, MO. Experts will discuss how evictions, and more broadly, forced moves, are simultaneously a result, cause, and indicator of urban inequality. Evictions have long term negative impacts on education, health, and employment, intersecting with homeless services, school quality, and neighborhood stability. While we know the broad impacts of mobility on families and the neighborhoods, we know little about the location and differences for families of evictions. Formal eviction data highlight concentrations of formal eviction, but these data are insufficient to understand the contours of formal eviction, much less the less informal forced moves undertaken by low-income households. This current research is focused on explaining why and how evictions are so concentrated in Virginia’s urban regions and how to address housing instability.

The Undercounted: How Nonrespondents are Skewing Your Research Results
Some segments of society — conservatives, youth, and rural and low-income households — are harder to reach and are routinely undercounted in research.
In this free download, read about five cases in which AmeriSpeak’s persistent outreach to initial nonrespondents enhanced the final data and delivered more inclusive results. Of particular importance to political and social scientists is how AmeriSpeak’s approach increased representation of moderate-to-conservative opinions. You’ll see the “before” and “after” numbers.
