91探花study reveals disparities in evictions
A new 91探花 study of evictions around the state shows that more women are evicted than men. Further, eviction rates among black and Latinx adults are almost seven times higher than for white adults in the state鈥檚 two most populous counties.
Based on eviction filings from each of Washington鈥檚 39 counties, the report and its series of interactive maps illustrate where, and to whom, evictions hit hardest. The surrounding narrative addresses why, and what may be done about it.
