Abstract: Cities around the country have seen a resurgence of investments and increased private market interest. Local cross-sector efforts and programs such as federal Opportunity Zones continue to promote the revitalization of areas that have long faced disinvestment. Although these investments promise to generate substantial new resources, many communities are having fierce debates over who will benefit from these investments. Governments, philanthropy, and nonprofits are increasingly focusing on how to prevent residential displacement stemming from these changes, often driven by local organizing and activism. Beyond residents being forced to move, communities are also grappling with cultural or commercial displacement due to changing norms and the loss of cultural institutions and neighborhood businesses. Despite the increased attention, comprehensive data to directly measure displacement do not exist. Often, people know from lived experience that their neighborhoods are changing but lack the data to quantify displacement. Further, communities may know which neighborhoods are changing in the present but do not have systems . . .
