How do different policies correlate with the number of evictions over time?
- How do different national and local housing policies across Europe correlate with the number of evictions over time?
- For example, in January 2020, before Covid-19, Spain reached the number of more than 1 million evictions since the number started to rise in 2008 with the financial crisis, https://www.lavanguardia.com/vida/20200128/473194883396/espana-supera-el-millon-de-desahucios-desde-2018-segun-la-pah.html
- Also in Spain, the news agency Europa Press keeps an updated database on evictions: https://www.epdata.es/datos/desahucios-estadisticas-datos-hoy-graficos-cgpj/230/espana/106
- Are there any similar data platforms focused on or devoted to evictions in other countries? Or any other ways to get official data on evictions during the last years?
- If so, it would be very interesting to compare how different policies and changes in policies since --for instance-- the financial crisis of 2007-08 correlate with the number of evictions in several European countries.
- Because policies are not the only factor behind the number of evictions, one can also look at other data sources:
- The chapter on the "European Index of Housnig Exclusion" of FEANTSA's 2020 Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe has useful compilations of data about:
- Housing costs and expenses,
- housing quality and quality of life,
- social factors worsening housing difficulties,
- public housing policies;
- and for close-ups about Greece, Spain, Denmark and Romania.
