Abstract: While previous work has analyzed skill sorting across cities, our interest lies in how less educated households who remain in cities seeing growing demand for college graduates are faring, focusing in particular on their housing and neighborhood outcomes. A growing literature shows that pecuniary and non-pecuniary moving frictions mean that a substantial number of inframarginal (stayer) households may bear the incidence of these demand shocks (Bartik 2016, Zabek 2017). We focus specifically on less educated renters, as they are more vulnerable to rising housing costs. In future drafts we will explore outcomes for all less educated individuals. We define less educated individuals as those completing a high school degree or less and college graduates those completing a bachelors degree or more.
