Neighbourhood inequality spillover effects of gentrification

Abstract

Previous research has considered how gentrification may alter the racial composition, income composition and income segregation within a neighbourhood. An increase in income segregation at the neighbourhood level may be evidenced by a reduction in income inequality, which may harm low‐income households. We examine how the influence of gentrification, with respect to changes in income inequality at the neighbourhood level over time, may spill over into surrounding neighbourhoods as lower‐income households' location choices change. We use data from the 30 largest Core Based Statistical Areas in the US from 2000–2010 and find that areas bordering newly gentrified neighbourhoods experience an increase in income inequality (potentially benefiting low‐income households). This effect appears to be concentrated in relatively smaller CBSAs, where lower‐income households may have less mobility, and in surrounding neighbourhoods that are themselves relatively lower‐income. En investigaciones anteriores se ha considerado cómo el aburguesamiento puede alterar la composición racial, la composición de ingresos y la segregación de ingresos dentro de un vecindario. El aumento de la segregación de ingresos a nivel de vecindario se puede comprobar mediante la reducción de la desigualdad de ingresos, que puede perjudicar a los hogares de bajos ingresos. El estudio examina cómo la influencia del aburguesamiento, con respecto a los cambios a lo largo del tiempo en la desigualdad de ingresos a nivel del vecindario, se puede extender a los vecindarios circundantes a medida que cambian las opciones de ubicación de los hogares de bajos ingresos. El estudio utiliza datos de las 30 Áreas Estadísticas Básicas (CBSA, por sus siglas en inglés) más grandes de los EE.UU. entre 2000 y 2010 y encontró que las áreas que limitan con barrios recientemente aburguesados experimentan un aumento en la desigualdad de ingresos (lo que potencialmente beneficia a los hogares de bajos ingresos). Este efecto parece concentrarse en las CBSA relativamente más pequeñas, donde los hogares de menores ingresos pueden tener menos movilidad, y en vecindarios circundantes que, a su vez, son de ingresos relativamente más bajos. 従来の研究では、ジェントリフィケーション(再開発)がどのように居住区(neighbourhood)内の人種構成、所得構成、所得格差を変化させるかが検討された。居住区レベルでの所得格差の拡大は、所得不平等の減少率がそれを示すエビデンスとなる可能性があるが、それによって低所得世帯が損害を被る可能性もある。低所得世帯の居住地選択の変化に関して、居住区レベルでの所得不平等の経時的変化に関して、ジェントリフィケーションの影響が周辺地域にどのように波及するかを検討した。2000年~2010年の米国のコアベース統計地域の規模の大きい上位30の地域のデータを用いたところ、新たにジェントリフィケーションが行われた地域の境界地域では所得不平等が増加(低所得世帯のためになる可能性がある)していることが明らかになった。この影響は、低所得世帯の移動可能性が低く、相対的に所得が低い居住区に囲まれている、比較的小さなコアベース統計地域に集中していると考えられる。
