Eviction Filings and Defaults in Merrimack, New Hampshire

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a state-wide moratorium on evictions from March 17, 2020 to July 1, 2020.

The CDC moratorium was in place from September 4, 2020 through August 26, 2021.

New Hampshire released weekly eviction filing counts for cases filed from 2019 through 2022. We have aggregated the weekly filing counts to the monthly-level based on the weekly start date, however, weeks often cross between months so the monthly filing counts here are not exact. In 2023, New Hampshire began releasing monthly eviction filing counts. For these reasons, weekly data stops at the end of 2022.
