Key Points Question Is Medicaid expansion associated with decreased home evictions, and is this association heterogenous across states and counties? Findings In this cohort study of 25 398 county-year observations (across 40 US states) for the years 2002 through 2018, Medicaid expansion was significantly associated with a decrease in mean number of county eviction judgments and a reduction in the rate of eviction judgments. Associations varied across both states and counties, with 29% of the variation being explained by across-state differences, and 9% being explained by county-level demographic and uninsurance differences. Meaning These results suggest that Medicaid expansion is associated with reductions in eviction judgments and eviction judgment rates; these associations may vary considerably both across as well as within states (across counties).
