Gentrification throughout the years

Areas in red became gentrified throughout the entire two-decade-plus span. Those neighborhoods include parts of Mid-City, Koreatown and Echo Park as well as Angelino Heights and the Arts District,

Most of downtown (in blue) is shown as being gentrified in the last decade or so; as well as parts of Venice, Playa Vista, Arlington Heights, Westlake, Highland Park and more.

Areas around transit stations are transforming, these transformations often lead to neighborhood upscaling and gentrification. These changes bring in more white, college-educated people and higher rents, and often result in the displacement of "disadvantaged populations," which includes residents with low-incomes and less than a high-school diploma.

Neighborhood upscaling and gentrification hold serious consequences for low-income residents, who may no longer be able to afford the rising rents that come from sudden interest in a neighborhood.
