Indiana researchers have unveiled a statewide evictions and foreclosures dashboard, believed to be the first of its kind in the country.

A report, produced by the Indianapolis-based community data center SAVI, found that between January and June of 2022 roughly two-thirds of evictions came from large apartment complexes.

New numbers from the Indiana State Supreme Court show low participation in the eviction diversion program launched in November.

An estimated 64,000 eviction cases have been filed in the state since the start of the pandemic, with roughly 6,000 filed just since the CDC's moratorium was struck down in August.

The Indiana Eviction Task Force will review the state's eviction process and make recommendations for implementing a pre-eviction diversion program.

With the end of the CDC eviction moratorium, thousands of eviction cases can now start moving through state courts.
