low-income non-white households did not disproportionately leave gentrifying areas. In fact, researchers found that at least one group of residents, high school–educated blacks, were actually more likely to remain in gentrifying neighborhoods - Ognjen Strpić
"The researchers identified gentrifying neighborhoods as those in which the average family earned less than $30,079 in 1990 — the poorest one-fifth of the country — and at least $10,000 more 10 years later." But does this adjust for inflation? And the article mentions "succession" - richer people replacing the poorer people who move out. Hard to see how this isn't the same old hallmark (negative) effect of gentrification. - joneilortiz
