The primary source for all demographic and income data used in this project. ACS 5-Year Estimates provide statistically reliable community-level data covering income distribution, racial composition, age, and housing costs across LA County's 8 CCDs.

An interactive map tracking gentrification typologies and displacement pressure across LA neighborhoods. Used to cross-reference this project's district-level findings against established displacement risk classifications for South Gate–East LA and other CCDs.

Documents the lived experience of gentrification in South Central LA — rising rents, shifting demographics, and the displacement of longtime Latino residents. Provides qualitative grounding for this project's quantitative findings on South Gate–East LA (CCD 8).

Examines how the tech industry's expansion into Venice Beach accelerated gentrification and displacement in surrounding neighborhoods. Connects economic investment patterns to rising rents — directly relevant to the rent growth data in this project's medianRent table.

A data-driven StoryMap analyzing gentrification patterns across LA using census and housing data. Maps displacement risk by neighborhood, with findings that parallel this project's identification of South Gate–East LA as one of the county's most vulnerable districts.

Provides the theoretical framework defining gentrification as a process of class-based neighborhood transformation. Used to ground this project's analysis in established academic definitions and to distinguish between neighborhood investment and displacement as distinct but linked phenomena.
