Princeton University says Atlanta has the most eviction filings in the country

Metro Atlanta experienced a severe eviction crisis last year, with one in four renter households facing eviction filings, which is over three times the national average. Princeton University’s Eviction Lab highlighted this alarming trend during a presentation at the Atlanta History Center, indicating that the region’s housing instability poses significant challenges for residents. This crisis underscores the urgent need for effective housing policies and community support to address the root causes of evictions and prevent future displacements.
