Definition
EVICTEDFEAR indicates whether the household respondent was sure of not being evicted from their dwelling--i.e., felt secure occupying their home.
The information in EVICTEDFEAR is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
