Abstract

Researchers have found that gentrification is less likely in Black neighborhoods than in White or Latinx neighborhoods, and that gentrification looks different in Black neighborhoods. For example, researchers have found that Black neighborhoods experience marginal gentrification—changes in the educational level but not the income of residents. This study uses Census and National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) data to explore the relationship between gentrification and racial change in Washington, DC between 2000 and 2019. We measure gentrification using four distinct but related measures: change in home value, rent, average educational level, and household income. The results show a positive association between changes in the percentage of residents with college degrees and the percentage of White residents in neighborhoods that were majority Black in 2000. We also find a positive association between changes in the percentage of Latinx residents and the average rent. We do not find a significant relationship between racial change and changes in home value and average income. Our findings point to the importance of including race in models of gentrification as well as using different measures of gentrification to capture it more fully.

后巧克力城市的边缘中产阶级化和种族资本主义

研究人员发现，与白人或拉丁裔社区相比，黑人社区中产阶级化的可能性更小，而黑人社区的中产阶级化看起来也不同。例如，研究人员发现，黑人社区经历了边缘的中产阶级化——教育水平的变化，而不是居民收入的变化。本研究利用人口普查和国家历史地理信息系统(NHGIS)数据，探讨2000年至2019年华盛顿特区中产阶级化与种族变化之间的关系。我们使用四个不同但相关的指标来衡量中产阶级化:房屋价值的变化、租金、平均教育水平和家庭收入。结果显示，2000年黑人居多的社区中，拥有大学学位的居民比例与白人居民比例的变化呈正相关。我们还发现拉丁裔居民百分比的变化与平均租金之间存在正相关关系。我们没有发现种族变化与房屋价值和平均收入变化之间的显著关系。我们的研究结果指出，将种族纳入中产阶级化模型的重要性，以及使用不同的中产阶级化措施来更充分地捕捉它。
