Gentrification & Displacement

Read

Atlanta Gentrification and Displacement | Urban displacement project (interactive map)| 

“The UDP typology examines processes of gentrification and displacement in low-income neighborhoods (with a median household income at 80% of the regional median) and exclusion in moderate-to-high-income neighborhoods (at 80% of the regional median or above). Neighborhoods are categorized as exclusionary when rents are so expensive that low-income people are excluded from moving in—another form of displacement. The resulting typology map demonstrates a dynamic pattern of advanced exclusivity to the north and gentrification and displacement to the south, corresponding with patterns of racial segregation and structural changes to Atlanta’s urban core.”

“This report analyzes key findings related to changes in the low-income and non-low-income populations ’distribution across Atlanta’s neighborhoods from 2010 to 2018. Different types of neighborhood change are identified by economic expansion, including Growth and Low-Income Displacement, and economic decline, including Low-Income Concentration and Population Decline. Change is further explored across Atlanta by sub-groups, land-use policy, and public investment to understand how neighborhood change may be impacting populations in the City of Atlanta.”
