CaliforniaCalifornia courts would report eviction case data by ZIP Code
With enough funding, the Judicial Council would collect quarterly eviction case data from county courts and begin posting yearly public spreadsheets in 2034.
What it does
County court systems would report eviction case data through an automated system, in stages from 2033 through 2034. The work depends on the Legislature providing enough funding.
The Judicial Council would publish yearly spreadsheets of eviction case data, grouped by ZIP Code. Counties with few filings would appear only at the county level, and publication depends on enough funding.
Argument forPublic case data could help residents see eviction case patterns across ZIP Codes, while small counties would share data only by county.
Argument againstQuarterly data collection could add work for county courts, especially if they need to update systems to meet the reporting schedule.
More detail
The Judicial Council must assess when each county court system can submit the listed case data through an automated system. County systems identified as able to report must submit data quarterly starting in 2033; all county systems must do so by January 1, 2034. The reports cover unlawful detainer cases, including monthly filings, case outcomes, and dismissals. Data must be grouped by the ZIP Code of the property involved. Implementation depends on the Legislature providing enough funding in the annual budget or another law. The Judicial Council must assess reporting timelines by July 1, 2032. Able systems begin quarterly reports January 1, 2033; all systems must report by January 1, 2034.
The Judicial Council must put the received data in an electronic spreadsheet and post it publicly on its website each year. The spreadsheet covers the information reported by county court systems and is grouped by ZIP Code, except for counties meeting the low-filing threshold. Implementation depends on the Legislature providing enough funding in the annual budget or another law. A county with an average of 100 or fewer unlawful detainer filings over the previous five fiscal years must have its spreadsheet data shown only at the county level. Annual posting begins January 1, 2034.
