Housing Data Dashboard
The lack of civil justice data is a barrier to access to justice. For too long, data related to one of the most voluminous types of cases in the civil justice system – eviction – has not been publicly available in a meaningful way for communities, advocates and leaders to use for policy decisions. The Maryland Access to Justice Commission has developed this Housing Data Dashboard so that existing data related to a legal case and eviction can be at our fingertips. This Housing Data Dashboard uses data compiled by the Maryland Judiciary and visualizes it to make it easy to see monthly and year over year trends and to make it possible to compare across counties and against statewide numbers. This Dashboard will also be useful in evaluating the new Access to Counsel in Eviction Law, which makes it possible for all income-qualified persons facing an eviction to have access to an attorney.
