Figure 1. Age-Standardized Prepandemic, Pandemic, and Excess Mortality Results by Exposure Group^a.

Data were approved by the Census Disclosure Review Board (CBDRB-FY23-CES004-013) and sourced from the 2021 Numident file linked to eviction records²⁶ and the 2015/2019 Residence Candidate File.²⁷

^aSee eAppendix 2 for details regarding the estimation of expected mortality rates.

^bExcess mortality indicates the difference between the observed and expected mortality rates.

^cThe term threatened renters refers to renters who were directly linked to an eviction filing. This study compared threatened renters to 2 other populations: the general population across all tracts contained in the eviction tracking system (ETS) tracts and the population living in the subset of those tracts that have high-filing and poverty rates (high-filing ETS tracts). Individuals in the high-filing ETS tracts and the ETS tracts comparison groups who were directly matched to eviction filings (threatened renters) were removed, but these groups will still likely include some individuals who were truly filed against and failed to match and/or who were not at risk of eviction (eg, homeowners).
