UrbanTurf, April 15th, 2019: The severity of displacement in DC: by the numbers
A study that was recently released by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition stating that Washington, D.C. experienced the most intense gentrification and displacement of any city since 2000 has gained a lot of traction. Now, the University of Minnesota Law School’s Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity (IMO) has released a study entitled “American Neighborhood Change in the 21st Century” that delves further into the numbers illustrating these changes.
While the IMO study agrees that D.C. experienced the most severe gentrification and displacement nationwide since 2000, the study also offers more statistics to illustrate this shift.
