WHDH 7 News, July 9, 2020: Study: Boston is 3rd-most ‘intensely gentrified’ city in United States
Boston is the third “most intensely gentrified” city in the United States, according to a new study.
Research conducted by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition found that 21.3% of neighborhoods in Boston gentrified from 2013-2017.
San Francisco and Denver were the only cities that ranked ahead of Boston. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale area and New Orleans rounded out the top five cities.
“They had the largest share of their vulnerable neighborhoods that gentrified during that time period,” researchers said.
