“Rubber Tires, Residents, and Gentrification in Los Angeles”
Anne Brown
PhD Candidate, UC Los Angeles
Examining the Los Angeles Orange Line, this study offers new evidence that bus rapid ransit, like rail, may gentrify neighborhoods. Neighborhoods with lower median household incomes, lower median rents, and higher proportions of renter-occupied housing experienced elevated levels of gentrification compared to other neighborhoods. In light of this, policy makers should prioritize preserving affordable housing to protect incumbent residents from displacement through rising housing costs around accessible transit lines.
Anne is a doctoral student in the Department of Urban Planning at UCLA. She holds a bachelor's degree from Macalester College and a Master of Urban and Regional Planning from UCLA. Her research examines equity issues in transportation policy, planning, and finance.
