Maricopa County on Brink of Historic Evictions Surge in 2024

Eviction filings surged to near-record levels in the Valley last month, according to recent data from the Justice Courts of Maricopa County. The figures revealed that 7,903 evictions were filed in July.

This number represents the third-highest total ever recorded. It also marks a significant 9% increase compared to the previous month.

The rising eviction numbers highlight ongoing housing instability issues in the region. As the economic impacts of the pandemic continue to unfold, many residents are struggling to maintain their housing.

Local authorities and community organizations are working to address the growing crisis. However, the increasing figures suggest that more comprehensive solutions may be needed to prevent further escalation.
