Household Mobility, Networks, and Gentrification of Minority Neighborhoods in the United States
研究了美国50个最大劳动力市场中近期绅士化冲击对少数族裔社区的影响,发现绅士化提高了黑人社区的房价、减少了黑人家庭比例,并增加了向有网络联系的社区迁移的份额,但对西班牙裔社区影响不大。
We investigate the impact of recent gentrification shocks on minority neighborhoods in the 50 largest US labor markets. We show that household moves from a given neighborhood are concentrated to few destinations with similar minority shares and strong network ties, but those neighborhoods are farther away from downtown. Gentrification affects Black neighborhoods by raising house prices, reducing the proportion of Black households, and increasing the share of movers going to neighborhoods with network ties. However, gentrification has negligible effects on Hispanic neighborhoods. Overall labor market area segregation decreases after a gentrification shock because highly Black neighborhoods become less segregated.
