This paper looks at factors explaining gentrification using the neoclassical economic framework. The risk inherent in a move to a lower class neighbourhood is seen as a component of the rent gap that helps preserve working-class neighbourhoods until a tipping point is reached. The factors that affect risk perception and encourage gentrification are placed the context of Ulrich Beck's risk society. The 'reflexivity' attribute, the 'end of fate'-the 'writing of one's own biography'-bridges the changes in preferences, life style, family formation, and work that contribute to the rise of gentrification
