Avast ye, me hearties! It be a sad tale to tell, but word on the wind has it that eviction filings be on the rise in some ports o' call in the US. The good folks at the Eviction Lab, loyally sailin' under the flag o' Princeton University, have gathered data from the past two decades, delvin' into countless public records like true treasure hunters. Aye, 'tis a fact that the bloomin' costs o' livin' be weighin' heavy on the hearts o' Americans, while scarce be the affordable havens they seek. Now, me hearties, let us venture to them cities with the most evictions... Arrr!
Arr mateys, listen up! I've got some news that'll make ye laugh as heartily as a parrot on a pirate's shoulder. It seems that in some corners of the US, there be a spike in eviction filings. Aye, ye heard it right! The fine folks at the Eviction Lab, part of Princeton University, have been keeping a weather eye on this matter.They've been digging through heaps of records, going as far back as the year 2000, to compile a dataset on these eviction filings. And let me tell ye, it's a treasure trove of information! Based on millions and millions of public state and county records, they've uncovered a tale of rising costs of living and a scarcity of affordable homes.
Arr, it seems that this problem be plaguing cities across the US. These landlubbers are feeling the pinch of high prices, while the stock of affordable real estate be as scarce as buried treasure. It's a situation that has many folks walking the plank of eviction.
But which cities be sufferin' the most, ye ask? Well, the data tells a tale, me hearties. It seems that places like New York City, Houston, and Atlanta be top contenders for the eviction crown. These cities be known for their shiny skyscrapers and bustling streets, but it seems they also be havin' a fair share of mateys walkin' the plank.
Now, don't ye be thinkin' this be a laughing matter. Eviction be a serious blow to those who find themselves in its clutches. But sometimes, ye just have to find a bit of humor in the stormy seas of life. So, me hearties, let's raise a glass of rum to those facing eviction and hope that their luck turns around, for as any good pirate knows, even in the darkest of times, there be always a glimmer of hope.
