Gentrification Vulnerability in City of Atlanta

This webmap is created by the Atlanta Regional Commission using methodology for the census tract level gentrification vulnerability assessment from Portland, Oregon’s 2013 Gentrification and Displacement Study: implementing an equitable inclusive development strategy in the context of gentrification. This assessment is just the first of a three phase analysis to identify the gentrification typology of Atlanta's census tracts. Using 5-year estimate data from the American Community Surveys (ACS) for 2006-10 and 2011-15, the gentrification vulnerability assessment identifies census tracts as at risk of gentrification as those that fell below the city average (minus the margin of error) for at least 3 of the 4 criteria: percent renter, percent nonwhite, percent without a BA, and/or median household income.
