According to a 2018 article posted in Market Urbanism, “nine of the ten cities with the highest eviction rates are in low-cost southern states.” “The tenth is Warren, Michigan.”

Its focus targets any dire effects of real estate development in urban districts. According to an article posted in U.S. News & World Report, a March 2019 study done by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition revealed that Washington, D.C., maintained “the highest intensity of gentrification” out of 10 cities noted.
