Gentrification of Chicago

Gentrification in Chicago has been an issue between the residents of minority neighborhoods who believe the influx of new residents destabilizes their communities, and the gentrifiers who see it as a process that economically improves a neighborhood. Gentrification is the process of altering the demographic and socioeconomic composition of a neighborhood usually by decreasing the percentage of low-income minority residents and increasing the percentage higher-income residents, Researchers have debated the significance of its effects on the neighborhoods and whether or not it leads to the displacement of residents.
