Integrating or segregating? Gentrification, the changing city-suburb divide, and black exceptionalism
Racial residential segregation has been pivotal in maintaining racial inequality following the Civil Rights Era. The transformation of cities by the spread of gentrification in recent decades may have mitigated these longstanding divisions or reproduced them as gentrification reorganizes residential patterns across urban space. However, the extent and nature of this relationship remain in question. We bridge theories of racial capitalism and resi…
Weather Extremes in Indigenous Communities in Mexico and Undocumented US Migration and Its Duration
In Mexico, the context of indigeneity—the share of the local population with precolonial origins—patterns multiple forms of inequality, including disproportionate exposure to weather extremes. We examine whether it also shapes undocumented migration to and return from the United States following weather extremes. Analyzing data on over 90,000 individuals from 147 Mexican communities in the Mexican Migration Project, linked to municipal measures o…
Shifting and Persisting Neighborhood Hierarchies: Immigrant Influx and the Gentrification of Black Neighborhoods in the Twenty-first Century
In recent decades, U.S. cities have experienced an increasing prevalence of gentrification, especially in Black urban neighborhoods, and the growth and dispersal of new immigrants. Although scholarship suggests links between immigrant settlement and gentrification, few quantitative studies examine this relationship and consider differences across neighborhood ethnoracial contexts and city-level contexts of immigrant reception. This study draws on…
Who Owns the Neighborhood? Ethnoracial Composition of Property Ownership and Neighborhood Trajectories in San Francisco
Property owners play pivotal roles in the trajectories of neighborhoods with discretion over upkeep, residential turnover, and affordability. Yet, little is known about how and why the racial composition of ownership changes over time relative to residents within a neighborhood and, in turn, how this relates to the neighborhood’s change and stability. With a self-constructed dataset of all residential transactions in San Francisco from 1990 to 20…
The Reign of Racialized Residential Sorting: Gentrification and Residential Mobility in the Twenty-First Century
Despite recent theoretical advances in explaining the persistence of segregation in the United States through structural sorting processes, how the spread and intensification of gentrification intersects with these processes is less clear. Drawing on the 2000–2017 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and fixed effects logistic and linear regression models, we examine gentrification’s relationship with residential mobility patterns a…
Psycho-behavioral responses to urban scenes: An exploration through eye-tracking
Where Do They Go? The Destinations of Residents Moving from Gentrifying Neighborhoods
The fate of residents living in gentrifying neighborhoods remains an important yet little understood outcome of the gentrification process. In this study, we assess the effects of gentrification on mobility patterns using the geocoded version of the panel study of income dynamics (PSID), a nationally representative longitudinal survey of households. While many studies examine whether residents move from gentrifying neighborhoods, few study their …
Cleaning Up the Neighborhood: White Influx and Differential Requests for Services
Visible signs of disorder serve as markers of difference across urban space. Sociological theory suggests that variation in collective social control efforts contributes to variation in physical disorder. However, how structural characteristics shape differences in informal social control remains underexplored because of limited data on disorder and social control. Using city service request data and a novel dataset drawing on Google Street View …
Shared and Crowded Housing in the Bay Area: Where Gentrification and the Housing Crisis Meet Covid-19
Amid the growing affordable housing crisis and widespread gentrification over the last decade, people have been moving less than before and increasingly live in shared and often crowded households across the U.S. Crowded housing has various negative health implications, including stress, sleep disorders, and infectious diseases. Difference-in-difference analysis of a unique, large-scale longitudinal consumer credit database of over 450,000 San Fr…
Systematic Social Observation at Scale: Using Crowdsourcing and Computer Vision to Measure Visible Neighborhood Conditions
Analysis of neighborhood environments is important for understanding inequality. Few studies, however, use direct measures of the visible characteristics of neighborhood conditions, despite their theorized importance in shaping individual and community well-being, because collecting data on the physical conditions of places across neighborhoods and cities and over time has required extensive time and labor. The authors introduce systematic social…
Curating Training Data for Reliable Large-Scale Visual Data Analysis: Lessons from Identifying Trash in Street View Imagery
Visual data have dramatically increased in quantity in the digital age, presenting new opportunities for social science research. However, the extensive time and labor costs to process and analyze these data with existing approaches limit their use. Computer vision methods hold promise but often require large and nonexistent training data to identify sociologically relevant variables. We present a cost-efficient method for curating training data …
Racialized Reshuffling: Urban Change and the Persistence of Segregation in the Twenty-First Century
The literature on the persistence of racial residential segregation in the United States has made significant progress by moving beyond traditional explanations-socioeconomic differences, preferences, and discrimination-to focus on the complex ways in which these factors interact with the multistage process of residential sorting. Dramatic changes in metropolitan landscapes over the past two decades, however, demand an expanded theoretical framew…

Unequal Displacement: Gentrification, Racial Stratification, and Residential Destinations in Philadelphia
Drawing from sociological theory and research on residential mobility and neighborhood stratification, which primarily explain urban decline and persistent segregation, the authors propose a framework for examining residential displacement in the context of gentrification. Using this framework, this study assesses how gentrification shapes whether and where disadvantaged residents move, using a unique large-scale consumer credit database of resid…
C hicago
Chicago is a major US city with a rich history of rapid development and population growth and a diverse yet segregated population. It has served as a center for immigration, strong political machines, innovative arts and architecture, and is a major intellectual site in the development of urban studies.
Gentrification without Segregation? Race, Immigration, and Renewal in a Diversifying City
Research on how neighborhood racial composition affects where gentrification unfolds yields mixed conclusions, but these studies either capture broad national trends or highly segregated cities. Drawing on the case of Seattle-a majority-white city with low segregation levels and growing ethnoracial diversity, this study uncovers an underexplored mechanism shaping patterns of uneven development and residential selection in the contemporary city: i…
Racialized Recovery: Postforeclosure Pathways in Boston Neighborhoods
Following the Great Recession, homeownership rates declined precipitously, raising concerns for the stability and well–being of neighborhoods. While many studies document shifts in household constraints, this article draws from foreclosure records from 2006 to 2011, subsequent transactions, tax exemption filings, and maintenance data in Boston, Massachusetts to show how the foreclosure crisis altered the landscape of ownership and unfolded differ…
Indigenous Places and the Making of Undocumented Status in Mexico-US Migration
The uneven distribution of economic and social resources across communities often falls along ethno-racial dimensions. Few demographers have considered whether such axes of place stratification in a migrant-sending country relate to individuals’ access to economic and social resources in a migrant-receiving country. Taking Mexico-US migration flows as our focus, we examine if having origins in an indigenous place, a primary axis of stratification…
Migration to the United States from Indigenous Communities in Mexico
Research on Mexican migration to the United States has long noted how the characteristics of sending communities structure individuals' opportunities for international movement. This literature has seldom considered the concentration of indigenous residents (those with origins in pre-Hispanic populations) in migrant-sending communities. Drawing on data from 143 communities surveyed by the Mexican Migration Project, and supplemented with data from…

While Some Things Change, Some Things Stay The Same: Reflections on the Study of Gentrification
Pioneers of Gentrification: Transformation in Global Neighborhoods in Urban America in the Late Twentieth Century
Few studies have considered the role of immigration in the rise of gentrification in the late twentieth century. Analysis of U.S. Census and American Community Survey data over 24 years and field surveys of gentrification in low-income neighborhoods across 23 U.S. cities reveal that most gentrifying neighborhoods were “global” in the 1970s or became so over time. An early presence of Asians was positively associated with gentrification; and an ea…
The Social Construction of a Gentrifying Neighborhood: Reifying and Redefining Identity and Boundaries in Inequality
This study draws upon cognitive maps and interviews with 56 residents living in a gentrifying area to examine how residents socially construct neighborhoods. Most minority respondents, regardless of socioeconomic status and years of residency, defined their neighborhood as a large and inclusive spatial area, using a single name and conventional boundaries, invoking the area’s Black cultural history, and often directly responding to the alternativ…
Gentrification in Changing Cities: Immigration, New Diversity, and Racial Inequality in Neighborhood Renewal
This article examines how the rise of immigration and its associated racial and ethnic changes relate to gentrification. In the decades following the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, gentrification has occurred more in cities with high levels of immigration and in neighborhoods with higher levels of immigrants. These relationships, however, vary by the ways in which a city is racially segregated and by the extent to which its immigrant population has been i…
Divergent Pathways of Gentrification: Racial Inequality and the Social Order of Renewal in Chicago Neighborhoods
Gentrification has inspired considerable debate, but direct examination of its uneven evolution across time and space is rare. We address this gap by developing a conceptual framework on the social pathways of gentrification and introducing a method of systematic social observation using Google Street View to detect visible cues of neighborhood change. We argue that a durable racial hierarchy governs residential selection and, in turn, gentrifyin…
