Gentrification

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Gentrification occurs when middle- and upper-class residents move into and renovate less-affluent city neighborhoods, and rising costs push existing lower-income residents out.

Show

A neighborhood's rising rents after a wave of renovation illustrate gentrification displacing residents who could afford the area before.

Watch for

Gentrification describes a displacement pattern tied to rising cost, not a claim that neighborhood investment itself is inherently harmful.
