We know that Child Opportunity affects health and varies by zip code. So too a family’s opportunity, especially opportunity to access healthy affordable housing, with low risk of displacement due to gentrification, as explained in this Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) brief.

The Network’s close colleagues, Miriam Zuk, Ph.D. & Professor Karen Chapple of the Urban Displacement Project at UC Berkeley developed this mapping tool in an effort to understand California’s Bay Area residential displacement and gentrification, calling communities to action to address a grave issue.

For example, according to the maps, over 90% of Oakland, CA residents are considered low-income, and almost 67% are currently at risk of displacement due to gentrification.

Why We Like It: The tool supports a call for action, and in addition to gentrification, the interactive maps also show household income, education, race, rent burden, and other related factors by census tract.

Where You Can Find it: Map any Bay Area city at www.urbandisplacement.org. Read The Urban Displacement Project’s literature review on gentrification and displacement published by Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
