Recent research from the Eviction Lab show that rising rents and evictions contribute to premature deaths. Two major findings were: 1) High cost of housing increases the risk of dying earlier for renters. 2) Simply being threatened with an eviction – even when the case does not result in an eviction judgment – was associated with a 19% increase in mortality. The research suggests that policies such as rental vouchers and low-income housing development incentives may lead to improved public health.
