IDENTIFYING RISKS OF DISPLACEMENT

Key factors influencing gentrification, particularly in the context of brownfields redevelopment, are important to identify risks of displacement. Neighborhood changes can be assessed through indicators related to economics, demographics, real estate, and the built environment. By recognizing and tracking these indicators, we can better understand displacement risks, which is essential for raising awareness and developing effective mitigation strategies. These can be used to assist brownfields practitioners in analyzing current conditions, identifying areas at risk for displacement, and monitoring changes over time. You may find more information on the Roadmap to Inclusionary Redevelopment Guide Series: Part I.
