We assess the relationship between gentrification and a key form of displacement: eviction. Drawing on over six million court cases filed in 72 of the largest metropolitan areas across the United States between 2000 and 2016, we show that most evictions occurred in low-income neighborhoods that did not gentrify. Over time, eviction rates decreased more in gentrifying neighborhoods than in comparable low-income neighborhoods. Results were robust to multiple specifications and alternative measures of gentrification. The findings of this study imply that focusing on gentrifying neighborhoods as the primary site of displacement risks overlooking most instances of forced removal. Disadvantaged communities experienced displacement pressures when they underwent gentrification and when they did not. Eviction is not a passing trend in low-income neighborhoods-one that comes and goes as gentrification accelerates and decelerates-but a durable component of neighborhood disadvantage.

超越绅士化：住房损失、贫困和流离失所的地理学。


我们评估了绅士化与流离失所的一种关键形式：驱逐之间的关系。根据 2000 年至 2016 年期间在美国 72 个最大大都市地区提起的 600 多万起法庭案件，我们表明大多数驱逐发生在没有高档化的低收入社区。随着时间的推移，高档化社区的驱逐率下降幅度大于同类低收入社区。结果对绅士化的多个规范和替代测量是稳健的。这项研究的结果表明，将绅士化社区作为流离失所的主要地点可能会忽视大多数强制搬迁的情况。弱势社区在经历绅士化时经历了流离失所压力，而当他们没有经历时。驱逐在低收入社区不是一个过时的趋势——随着绅士化的加速和减速而来来去去——而是社区劣势的一个持久组成部分。
