The History of Revival Cities
This table gives a general explanation on some research that was found about whether the variation was associated with broad economic or demographic trends, either citywide or specific to each city’s African American residents. It was found, that while neighborhoods vary widely between cities and within the same city, no more than a 10 percent loss becomes real in household income (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 2021).
Only 2 out of 342 census tracts moved into the upper income bands. This reflects the reality that gentrification, despite widespread fears and concerns, is an extreme rarity among these neighborhoods. (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 2021).
In 2000, our cities' share of foreign-born population ranged from 3.8 percent in Pittsburgh (Allegheny County) to 9 percent in Philadelphia (Kahn 2021).
In nearly 60 percent of all tracts, the median household income dropped 30 percent or more in real dollars (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 2021).
In 12 percent of the tracts, the median household lost more than 50 percent real income. Over half of the tracts in that group were in Detroit (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 2021).
This is a graph showing the graduation rate of the DSPCD or The Detroit Public Schools Community District.
The Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) saw a decrease in its dropout rate from 14.5% to 13.8%, while the state;s dropout rate slightly increased from 7.7% to 8.2 % (Powers 2023).
