Gentrification Trends in the United States

• The first book to quantify the changes that take place when a neighborhood’s income level, education attainment, or occupational makeup outpace the city as a whole
• Applies a novel method to four decades of Census tract data to provide a quantitative basis for trends uncovered through ethnography and other forms of qualitative research
• Harnesses a massive data set to provide answers to broad questions about the nature and prevalence of gentrification across the United States
• Ideal reading for courses in GIS, real estate, urban economics, sociology, urban geography, econometrics, and urban studies
