    I believe Pomona, California is an ethnic space. Pomona was once a teeming populace of the ideal middle-class. The city consisted of 86% percent Whites and 15% Hispanics during the 1970s, according to the United States Census Bureau.

    Gentrification is seen by most of the public as the buying and renovating of houses, stores and buildings in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by wealthier individuals which increases property values and displaces low-income families. If we look at the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition we see it is defined as the process by which an urban area is rendered middle-class (“gentrifi’cation, n”). Gentrification is more than a renovation to an area or neighborhood, it is a controversial topic of class and race. The term was first used by urban geographer Ruth Glass in the 1960’s to describe the phenomenon of the upper middle-class buying property in London’s East End. She meant it as a negative term using the word gentry, or ruling class, to show her concern for the displaced…

    A study conducted by Miller, Rainie, Purcell, Mitchell, & Rosenstiel (2012), for the Pew Research Center, evaluated different community types—including urban, suburban, small town and rural communities—on various measures, including education levels, income levels and racial and ethnic makeup of their populations.

Neighborhoods do indeed matter for individual outcomes both independently and beyond individual characteristics. There are many long term impacts on the intergenerational transmission of poverty and wealth; and most certainly crossing racial and ethnic lines. The “American Dream” is the idea that is the primary story of American Immigration; the proposal that steered much of the thrust for civil rights.
