Recent research does show that eviction often falls along racial lines. A 2020 study by the Aspen Institute revealed that people of color comprise about 80 percent of people facing eviction. The study also showed that non-white tenants are more than twice as likely to be evicted than White tenants.
A University of Washington study found that eviction rates among Black and Latinx adults in some cities are nearly seven times higher than for Whites. And Boston Housing Court records show that 78 percent of eviction cases in that city that were suspended due to COVID-19 occurred in communities of color.
