Definition & calculation
Numerator: Number of surveyed assisted households reporting they feel secure from the threat of forced eviction over the coming reference period (e.g. 6 months)
Denominator: Total number of assisted households surveyed
Divide the number of surveyed households reporting they feel secure from forced eviction by the total number of households surveyed, multiplied by 100.
Formula: (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
Means of verification
Outcome / post-distribution monitoring household survey
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Baseline, midline and endline (or annual)

Measures perceived (subjective) tenure security, which complements but is distinct from holding a documented tenure arrangement: households can hold papers yet still fear eviction, or feel secure without them. Use to capture protection risk in HLP-sensitive contexts. Sex disaggregation refers to the head of household.
