Abstract

One major focus of urban research is the study of neighborhood change over time. We argue that a dwelling panel, ie a panel in which the dwelling is the sample unit, is the most appropriate method to study such changes, which we demonstrate using gentrification as an example. We use data from a four-wave dwelling panel in two neighborhoods of Cologne, Germany, with N = 1009 households participating in the first wave. We first discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a dwelling panel compared to a conventional panel, as well as compared to repeated cross-sectional surveys in the same neighborhood. Second, we show the different results obtained from both panels, while describing the process of change which alters the composition of social groups throughout the process of gentrification. We then document changes in unit rental costs and residents’ years of schooling based on data from the two panels. In the concluding section, we outline opportunities for further research using dwelling panels.
