Ну, что бы не испытывали иллюзий
For many poor families in America, eviction is a real and ongoing threat. Sociologist Matthew Desmond estimates that 2.3 million evictions were filed in the U.S. in 2016 - a rate of four every minute.
Desmond won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for his book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. His latest project is The Eviction Lab, a team of researchers and students at Princeton University dedicated to amassing the nation's first-ever database of eviction. To date, the Lab had collected 83 million records from 48 states and the District of Columbia.

В одном 2016 году в США были выселены из своего жилья 2.3 миллиона (!) семей. Каждая 50 (примерно). Может, конечно, некоторые семьи состоят из одного человека, а некоторые выселяли по нескольку раз, но порядок величины вам понятен
И вот еще оттуда же
Incomes have remained flat for many Americans over the last two decades, but housing costs have soared. So between 1995 and today, median asking rents have increased by 70 percent, adjusting for inflation. So there's a shrinking gap between what families are bringing [in] and what they have to pay for basic shelter.
And then we might ask ourselves: Wait a minute, where's public housing here? Where's housing vouchers? Doesn't the government help? And the answer is, it does help, but only for a small percentage of families. Only about 1 in 4 families who qualify for housing assistance get anything
Аренда выросла на 70% с учетом инфляции за 20 лет, а вот доходы - нет и, что самое поучительное, только один из четырех нуждающихся в жилье и которому по закону положена помощь её получает. А вот 75% - нет. И да, вышеприведенные цифры занижены. Это только официальные выселения через суды.
On how landlords go about evicting tenants
It varies a lot from city to city. In some places you can evict someone for being a penny short and a day late and the process is very efficient and quick. In other cities it's a lot longer and laborious and it's much more work. We're only also talking about formal evictions, too. These are evictions that go through the court and there are 101 ways for landlords to get a family out. Sometimes landlords pay a family to leave. Sometimes they change their locks or take their door off, as I witnessed one time in Milwaukee. So those evictions aren't even captured in these numbers that we have - which means the estimates that we have are stunning, but they're also too low.
