Furthermore, this research concludes that the health impacts of gentrification are heterogeneous and may have adverse impacts on Black Americans. However, existing gentrification and health research has not fully engaged with the racialized processes that produce these uneven impacts. To address this gap, we develop a conceptual framework to describe how gentrification may create unique experiences and differentiated health impacts for Black Americans. Applying a lens of racial capitalism, we examine how an ongoing legacy of structurally racist urban and housing policy in the United States has disinvested from and devalued Black communities; thereby rendering them vulnerable to subsequent reinvestment through gentrification. Next, we consider how this history creates unique health vulnerabilities to gentrification for Black residents. Finally, we describe pathways of displacement—physical and symbolic—through which these unique health vulnerabilities are shaped to produce differences in health.KEYWORDS: Gentrificationhealth disparitiesraceneighborhoods AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Dr. Derek Hyra, Dr. Melody Tulier, Emma Tran, and Marie-Fatima Hyacinthe for their helpful comments and suggestions.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingSupport for Shannon Whittaker, MPH was provided by predoctoral fellowships funded by the National Institute of Mental Health under grant number T32MH020031 and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities under grant number 1F31MD017129-01A1.

Using full-population register data, we follow children born in the Netherlands in 1999 until age 16. Local spatial autocorrelation analyses reveal concentrations of childhood mobility and neighborhood deprivation in cities. Focusing on children born in metropolitan areas, results indicate that children born in deprived neighborhoods are more likely to experience any move. Short-distance moves are associated with increased exposure and long-distance moves with less exposure to neighborhood deprivation. We argue we need a multidimensional longitudinal perspective to fully capture residential contexts to which children are exposed and enhance knowledge of childhood accumulations of disadvantage.","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out-of-town movers, defined as those relocating from more than 200 miles, prompt our analysis of whether external population pressures were distributed evenly throughout the city. We leverage a unique combination of data sources, including neighborhood ”quality of life” indicators from a web-based dashboard and property advertisement text from the Multiple Listing Service. Our findings highlight distinct characteristics of homes and neighborhoods with a higher proportion of out-of-town movers: excellent public schools, single-family homes with upscale kitchens, and fitness amenities. Neighborhoods have a population of highly educated, White residents. In contrast, neighborhoods that are more pedestrian-friendly, bicycle-accessible, or close to public transit and require property renovations tend to attract fewer out-of-town movers. This analysis reveals the unequal demand experienced by high-opportunity neighborhoods in a fast-growing city during the pandemic.KEYWORDS: Residential location choiceneighborhood amenitiesreal estate Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

By extending the typical application of conjoint designs to the urban domain, we show techniques for measuring place alienation—a sense of disconnection from place—and its impact on neighborhood satisfaction. We find that residents in lower SES neighborhoods share many of the same priorities as residents in higher SES neighborhoods when it comes to safety, transit, school quality, neighborliness, public spaces, and building types. However, differences appear across a range of preferences including bike usage, local commercial spaces, and cultural and recreation facilities. When considering place alienation and neighborhood satisfaction, we find a consistent, robust inverted relationship—as place alienation decreases, neighborhood satisfaction increases. Moreover, this relationship is not mitigated by socioeconomic factors, neighborhood conditions, or even attitudinal and experiential factors. We end with suggestions for future research.KEYWORDS: NeighborhoodssatisfactionCanadasuburbanresidential preferences AcknowledgmentsThis study was generously supported by the School of Cities at the University of Toronto and the Wellesley Institute.

Lovejoy et al. (Citation2010) discusses New Urbanists’ community designs incorporating features of “traditional neighborhoods” referring to communities built in the U.S. before World War II with moderate density, a grid-like street pattern, a mix of residential and commercial land uses, distinct centers, and an orientation to walking and transit rather than private automobiles. In the postwar era, many of these neighborhoods were succeeded with the rise of suburbanization and the reliance on vehicle ownership.2. At the time of our research, there were 140 official neighborhoods. These were defined in the mid-1990s by the city “to help government and community agencies with their local planning by providing socioeconomic data at a meaningful geographic scale” (City of Toronto, n.d.). The methodology for doing so is outlined here: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/neighbourhood-profiles/about-toronto-neighbourhoods/. The neighborhood boundaries were updated in 2022 to respond to differential population changes, so that now there are 158. While our selection procedures allowed us to select neighborhoods that approximate microcosms of the broader inner suburbs of which they are a part, results might be impacted by the specific boundaries. This is a limitation and future research would benefit from considering a wider sample of areas.3.
