Gentrification is a process in which formerly declining, under-resourced, neighborhoods experience reinvestment and in-migration of increasingly affluent new residents, with understudied implications for individual health and health-protective community resources for low-income and minority residents. Increased attention on urban health inequities have propelled research on the relationship between gentrification and health. Yet, there are significant challenges inherent in the study of gentrification given its non-linear process occurring at multiple levels and via various mechanisms in a complex web of urban systems.

Article Synopsis
- - Gentrification impacts health outcomes, but there’s little research on its effects due to differing ways of measuring it.
- - This study compared three gentrification methodologies in the San Francisco Bay Area, finding significant differences in classification; most characterized areas as stable except for the Urban Displacement Project which identified nearly half as gentrifying or at risk.
- - The findings suggest that health studies related to gentrification should use multiple measurement methods to ensure more reliable results, given the inconsistencies in characterizing gentrifying neighborhoods.
