The goal of this activity is to “map” displacement and gentrification in your own community (or in a
community in the Bay Area you are interested in learning about).

1. Go to the Urban Displacement Project Map website.
   (http://www.urbandisplacement.org/map/sf) Choose one of the data sets (from the drop down menu
   in the upper right hand corner) to get information about changes that have taken place in different
   neighborhood.
2. Choose an area or neighborhood on the map to focus on. Select 3-4 different data sets from the
   map to compare (such as change in rent, change in median home sale price, % nonwhite
   population, etc.) What pattern do you see? What changes does the map reflect in the neighborhood
   you’ve chosen? Also, you can use the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project
   (https://www.antievictionmap.com/sf-evictions) website to see if there’s additional information about
   the neighborhood, to add to your analysis.
3. POST what you’ve learned to this forum: include the neighborhood and city you chose in your
   subject heading. Describe what data you found, and what you think is important or significant about
   what you learned.
4. REPLY to at least 2 of your classmates posts. Address the following questions in your reply: How
   does it compare to the location you chose? What other information or analysis would you like to
   know, given what you learned from the post?
