(i.e. families are doubling up, more than 1 person/bedroom)

  4. What makes looking at gentrification difficult • Residents stay as long as they can, so they may be in the neighborhood still, but are sharing space with others/families double up • It takes time to look at changes in housing markets, and census and data is not collected on a regular basis • While we look for changes in rent and median income it is hard to prove that long-time residents are being pushed out BECAUSE of gentrification

  5. Let’s look at the data • We are going to break down and analyze some of the graphs from the reading. • While you are looking at them, think about the claims being made by individuals citing gentrifications effects on residents and what the data is showing us.
