A potential wave of evictions prompted by the global coronavirus pandemic stands to hit an unlikely demographic cohort hardest: People between the ages of 40 and 54, according to the Census Bureau’s July 9-14 Household Pulse Survey.  More than 1 in 4 of the 16.8 million renters in the age group either skipped or deferred rent payments during the previous month, according to a Social Explorer analysis.

More than 7.2 million Americans between the ages of 45 and 54 rent their homes, according to the 2014-18 American Community Survey. The cohort makes up more than a quarter of the total population in 211 neighborhoods, including tracts located in major markets such as Honolulu (49 percent of all households), Brooklyn (37.3 percent), and Miami (33.7 percent).
