This story map is designed to allow you to assess the level of gentrification in one small area: Census tract 72, located in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Gentrification can be measured quantitatively using three indicators: 1) change in median household income; 2) change in percentage of residents with a college degree; and 3) change in median housing value. Based on these measures, we can conclude that Census tract 72 has gentrified. It may even be the most gentrified neighborhood in the nation. Since 2000, the median household income in Census tract 72 has increased ten-fold; the percentage of people with a college degree has increased ten-fold; and the average home value has increased three-fold. Although racial change is not technically included in the measure of gentrification (which focuses on economic changes), it is often part of the popular definition. Thus, it is worth noting that the Black population of this tract decreased from 95% in 2000 to 24% in 2018. And the White population increased from 3% to 68%. This story map takes a close look at the physical landscape of the neighborhood to assess the level of public and private investment. You can compare this tract to three others: Census tract 21.02 (Kennedy Street), Census tract 74.01 (Barry Farm), Census tract 99.03 (Central Avenue), and Census tract 87.01 (Eckington).
