The data associated with this publication are within the manuscript.
Abstract
The study examines the growth of gentrification in California and its impact on schools and educational opportunities in the state. The study highlights the complex connections between gentrification, school choice, and school segregation patterns, finding the relationship between gentrification and local elementary schools largely depends on the specific city and community being gentrified. Statewide, gentrified neighborhoods have become more racially and economically diverse compared to those that did not gentrify, but the analysis finds only modest changes in local schools.
