[quote=Anonymous]From the study: "Since 2000, the city of Washington, D.C. has experienced the strongest gentrification and displacement of any city in the country. Over 38 percent of its residents, and 35 percent of its low-income residents, live in an area that is strongly economically expanding. On net, there has been major displacement in those areas: their population in poverty has fallen by 28 percent, their non-college-educated population has fallen 22 percent, and [b]their black population has fallen 23 percent. Since 2000, the same neighborhoods have seen overall population growth of 19 percent, and white population growth of a staggering 202 percent."
