Los Angeles Indices of Neighborhood Change
The application was developed by the Los Angeles Innovation Team (i-team) as a research tool to inform the team's efforts to reduce displacement in LA, while promoting neighborhood revitalization. Prior to this work, much of the existing knowledge about gentrification in LA was based on anecdotes and visual cues, but not hard data. By combining multiple data sources, including Census and city data, the application gave the team new visibility into the magnitude of past change, and likelihood of future change. This allowed the i-team to prioritize pilot areas for projects such as a rent stabilization awareness campaign, and a program to increase permits for accessory dwelling units.
