Abstract
In this brief, we discuss the available rental payment data, why the samples may not be representative, and the data gaps. We also examine additional datasets, including eviction data. We then compare the results between the datasets and highlight key findings. We conclude with suggestions on how to improve data quality so we are in a stronger position to make policy decisions in the next crisis and are better informed to enhance housing stability among renters even when there is no crisis.
