Neighbourhood satisfaction is an important facet of life and consideration for policy, as it affects one’s quality of life and well-being, as well as broader residential mobility patterns. While studies have addressed gentrification’s various outcomes, especially residential displacement, few have investigated the relationship between gentrification and neighbourhood satisfaction. Using data from the 2016 Philadelphia Housing and Neighbourhood Survey and mixed-effects logistic regression models, this paper explores the relationship between gentrification and neighbourhood satisfaction, examining how it varies by gentrification type, respondent race, and length of residence. We find that, while gentrification is overall positively associated with neighbourhood satisfaction, its effect on neighbourhood satisfaction is heterogeneous by gentrification type, respondent race, and length of residence. Specifically, when examined by type, only moderate gentrification is positively associated with neighbourhood satisfaction. Hispanic residents and non-Hispanic Black residents are less likely to be satisfied in gentrifying neighbourhoods than in non-gentrifying neighbourhoods. Lastly, gentrification is not significantly associated with neighbourhood satisfaction among long-term residents.

中产阶级化和邻里满意度：费城的一项研究


社区满意度是生活和政策考虑的一个重要方面，因为它影响一个人的生活质量和福祉，以及更广泛的居住流动模式。虽然研究已经解决了高档化的各种后果，特别是住宅搬迁，但很少有人调查高档化与邻里满意度之间的关系。本文利用 2016 年费城住房和邻里调查的数据和混合效应逻辑回归模型，探讨了高档化与邻里满意度之间的关系，研究了高档化类型、受访者种族和居住时间的差异。我们发现，虽然高档化总体上与社区满意度呈正相关，但它对社区满意度的影响因高档化类型、受访者种族和居住时间而异。具体来说，当按类型进行检查时，只有适度的高档化与邻里满意度呈正相关。与非士绅化社区相比，西班牙裔居民和非西班牙裔黑人居民对士绅化社区的满意度更低。最后，中产阶级化与长期居民的邻里满意度没有显着相关。
