A Charlotte Journalism Collaborative examination of nearly 700 eviction cases from October 2020 to March 2021 found evictions during the pandemic most often occurred in ZIP codes with higher rates of poverty, higher Black populations and less housing investment than the county, overall.

People behind on their rent because of the coronavirus pandemic got another reprieve last week: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its moratorium on evictions for one more month. Evictions haven't come to a standstill during the moratorium, but legal and social service agencies are preparing for a wave of evictions when it ends.
