A relatively new line of research has illuminated the degree to which eviction is a substantial contributor to health risks, including “deaths of despair” from alcohol or drug-related accidental poisonings. Although eviction is a persistent threat in the United States, there is comparatively less research that is both longitudinal and that evaluates multiple policies simultaneously to guide decision makers about which policies are more or less effective at lowering eviction activity. In this study we test the association between housing policies and eviction processes for a large proportion of U.S. counties from 2001 to 2018 using a panel of state-level landlord–tenant laws and a panel of local housing-specific investments by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. We find evidence that some state and local policies are effective at reducing the number of eviction filings and the incidence of multiple filings to the same household, although there is less evidence that actual eviction judgments can be mitigated with these policies.Keywords: Evictionlandlord–tenant policyJEL CLASSIFICATION CODES: O18K25R38 Data AvailabilityThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article and its supplementary materials.Disclosure StatementNeither author has any conflicts of interest, real or apparent, to report.Additional informationNotes on contributorsAshley C.

In recent years, a lively discussion in housing studies has emerged around policy mechanisms to promote permanently decommodified housing and nonprofit landlord types. This article picks up on the two strands of research and links them to our own empirical material from two studies on the city of Berlin that respond to two questions: (a) What role do the different landlord types play in processes of displacement? and (b) To what extent are the management strategies of nonprofit landlords equipped to dampen displacement processes? Our results, which are based on quantitative and qualitative analyses, show that public housing companies, cooperatives, and novel shared homeownership models pose a significantly lower risk of displacement. Although these landlord types do not prevent displacement entirely, their property management strategies, their self-understanding, and their networks make it possible to identify housing policy levers to minimize displacement.","PeriodicalId":47744,"journal":{"name":"Housing Policy Debate","volume":"8 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common measure is the “median home value” variable from the American Community Survey (ACS). However, household-level research suggests that self-assessed home values, such as those of the ACS, differ significantly from market-based measures, and medians can be affected by changes in the mix of homes . Transaction-based home price indices are unaffected by such changes and are based on market sales rather than self-assessments, but also have limitations. Moreover, self-assessments of home values might be desired if the intention is to measure the value households place on their homes or to avoid potential biases baked into market values. Comparing changes in the ACS median home value to a common market-based home price index (HPI), we find that the ACS median tends to fall more slowly than the HPI when values are falling and increase more slowly than the HPI when values rise. The differences between the measures are large and are not randomly distributed across space, tending to be larger in neighborhoods where values fall or rise more steeply. They are also related to a variety of neighborhood characteristics.Keywords: Neighborhoodneighborhood changehousinghome valuesgentrificationdisinvestmentproperty values AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank the editor and the three anonymous reviewers for their very helpful comments on this paper.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Regression is used to account for varying periods between paired transactions. The variation in changes in housing values is assumed to increase with the time between transactions, because variables other than market appreciation are expected to influence the values of housing units as this period increases.

More information on how the index is constructed is provided in Federal Housing Finance Agency (Citation2023).3 Moreover, the HPI is a relative measure of home value compared to other points in time and does not provide dollar-value estimates of median or typical value at one point in time.4 The Missouri Census Data Center release of the 2005–2009 ACS median home value variable was spatially interpolated using owner-occupied housing units as the weighting variable. More information can be found at https://mcdc.missouri.edu/data/acs2009/Variables.html.5 The two exceptions are the 2007–2012 HPI change and the initial median home value, which is taken from the 2005–09 ACS, centered on 2007.6 Tables 3–5 show a slight difference in sample size of one tract between the 2007 to 2012 period regression and the","PeriodicalId":47744,"journal":{"name":"Housing Policy Debate","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135537914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
