In the District, gentrification means widespread displacement. D.C. is one of the few cities in the country seeing a dramatic drop in its low-income population, according to a new study.
By Marissa J. Lang Marissa J. Lang Local reporter focused on D.C. area news Email Bio Follow April 26 at 8:05 AM In most American cities, gentrification has not pushed low-income residents out of the city they call home, according to a new study.
Earlier this month, two neighborhood disputes revealed deep divisions in neighborhoods undergoing rapid demographic change. In one incident, a noise complaint briefly silenced the hallmark go-go music of an electronics store in Shaw, while in the other, Howard University students asked their new neighbors to stop treating their campus like a public park.
People pushed out of these economic hot spots are largely black and low-income, according to the data. The number of District families headed by single mothers or those without a college degree also has declined. • Areas experiencing “low-income concentration” were experiencing an economic decline and an uptick in the number of low-income residents.
