GENTRIFICATION EXPLAINED Understanding gentrification. Gentrification: a process of neighborhood change that includes economic change in a historically disinvested neighborhood —by means of real estate investment and new higher-income residents moving in - as well as demographic change - not only in terms of income level, but also in terms of changes in the education level or racial make-up of residents. THE MISSION, SAN FRANCISCO For decades, San Francisco’s Mission District has been the site of active community organizing, affordable housing and minority-owned businesses. However, under the pressures of the "dot com boom," more and more industrial land has shifted to high-end residential uses. It has now become the icon of gentrification and Displacement in the Bay Area.

East Palo Alto. These Anti-Displacement Policy Case Studies look at three neighborhoods that were vulnerable to, but did not experience, gentrification and displacement in recent years. We discuss the features of these places and the strategies their cities used to limit their displacement. East Palo Alto is located in the heart of Silicon Valley.
RENT AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE Rent and Demographic Change Map. These maps illustrate changes in median rent (inflation-adjusted) and demographics between 2000 and 2015 for Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and San Francisco. All data comes from the U.S. Census (2000) and American Community Survey (2011-2015).

A LOOK AT THREE PLACES THAT AVOIDED As we have previously shown, the Bay Area’s wave of gentrification is only just beginning . In the face of such dramatic changes—ongoing and future—we conducted an inventory of cities’ anti-displacement policies. Extending that policy lens, we wanted to know: do any places manage to overcome the displacement pressures associated with gentrification and retain their low-income CHICAGO - GENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT 22% of lower-income neighborhoods in Chicago were at risk of gentrification in 2017, and 16% were undergoing displacement of low-income households without gentrification. Of the 21% of all Chicago neighborhoods that lost low-income households between 2000 and 2017, 62% were moderate-to-high-income neighborhoods, indicating a need to more

The year following an eviction, mothers are 20 percent more likely to report depression than their peers. At least two years after their eviction, mothers were still experiencing significantly higher rates of depression. Source: Desmond, Matthew and Rachel Tolbert Kimbro (2015).
GENTRIFICATION EXPLAINED Understanding gentrification. Gentrification: a process of neighborhood change that includes economic change in a historically disinvested neighborhood —by means of real estate investment and new higher-income residents moving in - as well as demographic change - not only in terms of income level, but also in terms of changes in the education level or racial make-up of residents. THE MISSION, SAN FRANCISCO For decades, San Francisco’s Mission District has been the site of active community organizing, affordable housing and minority-owned businesses. However, under the pressures of the "dot com boom," more and more industrial land has shifted to high-end residential uses. It has now become the icon of gentrification and Displacement in the Bay Area.

The Urban Displacement Project (UDP) is a research and action initiative of UC Berkeley. UDP conducts community-centered, data-driven, applied research toward more equitable and inclusive futures for cities. Our research aims to understand and describe the nature of gentrification and displacement, and also to generate knowledge on how policy interventions and investment can respond and support more equitable development. The goal of UDP is to produce rigorous research and create tools to empower advocates and policymakers, to reframe conversations, and to train and inspire the next generation of leaders in equitable development.

UPDATED GENTRIFICATION & POLICY MAPS Gentrification and displacement continues to be a crisis across the nation. Check out our expanded, refined and updated maps that reveal the latest state of gentrification and displacement in California and Portland, Oregon. The policy maps highlight the lack of tenant protection policies in Southern California Communities. Read More
TRANSIT-ORIENTED DISPLACEMENT OR COMMUNITY DIVIDENDS? This is a work of careful scholarship, drawing on extensive literature reviews, field interviews, and statistical analysis to bring much-needed clarity to the debate around gentrification and displacement, showing how transit-oriented development has succeeded in some cities and failed in others, both politically and in practice. National and global examples make it a valuable resource for urbanists anywhere.

DISPLACEMENT EXPLAINER VIDEO “Pushed Out: Displacement Today and Its Lasting Impacts” is a short explainer video that helps paint a clearer picture of displacement and its long-term impacts. Displacement is not just a one-time unfortunate event -- it has long-lasting impacts for families and their opportunities, with low-income people and people of color often being hardest hit.

RESEARCH BRIEF ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISPLACEMENT In metropolitan regions across the country, residents face constrained, expensive housing markets and rising income inequality. As neighborhoods change and housing demand shifts, landlords are presented with a new set of financial prospects. Displacement and evictions are central components of this changing landscape, altering the geography of race and class across regions. Read More
LITERATURE REVIEW ON GENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT In 2015, researchers at UC Berkeley and UCLA completed a review of the academic and practitioner literature on gentrification, displacement and its relationship to public and private investments. The lit review was published as a working paper by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco available here and
as an academic article in the Journal of Planning Literature available here .
