San Francisco most intensely gentrified city in new rankings

By NCRC / June 17, 2020 / Views

San Francisco was the most intensely gentrified city in America from 2013 to 2017, a new study found.

It was followed by Denver, Boston, Miami and New Orleans. They had the largest share of their vulnerable neighborhoods that gentrified during that time period.

The study, from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, is a follow-up to the organization’s 2019 gentrification and displacement rankings, in which Washington, DC, was the most gentrified city in the nation from 2000-2013. In the 2020 report, DC dropped to No. 13. Gentrification continued there, but it surged elsewhere.

NCRC identified 954 neighborhoods with indications of gentrification in the period 2013-2017. The vast majority of these neighborhoods came from just 20 cities, where each had at least ten neighborhoods gentrified during the 2013-2017 period. Nationally, half of all of the gentrifying neighborhoods were in these 20 cities.
