This project was awarded third place in the European Regional of the Eurpean Regional Data Open organised by Citadel and Correlation One.
Gentrification is the process of changing the character of a neighbourhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses. Although at first glance it seems very positive, it is actually a controversial topic in politics and urban planning. It is unquestionable that a neighbourhood can benefit from physical improvements of its buildings or the creation of new business; however, gentrification normally comes at the price of the displacement (or replacement) of the working-class population by the new middle class as the cost of living in the area tends to increase.
Our goal was to use census data for every tract in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in order to discover and analyze patterns related to the gentrification process.
