The Daily Free Press, February 18, 2021, Boston remains highly gentrified despite housing efforts
Despite efforts to support low-income neighborhoods across Boston, gentrification remains prevalent in the city — a consequence of the area’s affordable attraction, some residents say.
Boston was ranked third most intensely gentrified city in the United States between 2013-2017, according to a 2020 study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
Certain neighborhoods in the city, such as East Boston, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, Mattapan, Hyde Park and South Boston, were considered to be gentrified or susceptible for gentrification in the coming years, according to the study.
