About Us + What We Examined

We are students from the Department of Geography at the University of Washington.

This project aims at studying displacement over the years, 2010 to 2020.

The data is presented at the Block level, in order to measure gentrification occuring in sub-areas, over city level statistics.

Our findings demonstrate areas within King County that may be areas of interest for anti-displacement organizations.
