Abstract

This thesis examines the effects of increases in median property value and median rent on a neighborhood in New York City. Specific attention is paid to shifts in three variables: education outcomes of public school students, housing displacement, and fluctuations in crime rates. Data from the Census Bureau and American Community Survey are used to assess the impact of gentrification.
