On a national scale, gentrification disproportionately took place in neighborhoods where White people are the minority, according to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition’s research. People of color made up 77% of the population in gentrifying neighborhoods.

A study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition found that 6,000 bank branches closed across the country from 2008 to 2016, with the largest decline — 25 percent — coming in Baltimore County.

A new study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition found gentrification is not only growing but impacting more neighborhoods in the city.

“Access to credit is not equitable,” said Ibijoke Akinbowale, director of the housing counseling network for the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) in Washington, D.C. One way to expand credit access is using rental history to build a credit profile, Akinbowale suggested. “People can have years and years of on-time rental history that’s not reported on your credit.”

A new study from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC), found Denver is the second-most gentrified city in America. Katie Johnston reports.

“Some cities were booming, and that created unique and difficult challenges for longtime residents who were priced out and pushed out, but in most of the country, lower-income residents and neighborhoods suffered from a lack of investment, stagnant economies and fewer opportunities to accumulate personal wealth,” said Jason Richardson, NCRC director of research and evaluation, and one of the lead authors of the report.
