There has been a significant surge in eviction filings in major cities across the American Sunbelt. Data from Princeton University’s Eviction Lab shows that eviction filings have increased by as much as 46% in some cities compared to pre-pandemic averages. Cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Houston have seen particularly high increases.

This rise in evictions is largely attributed to the expiration of eviction moratoriums, rising rents, and economic pressures on tenants. The situation is creating a housing crisis in these areas, with many families struggling to keep up with rent payments.
