Abstract

This research examines housing insecurity and displacement within a gentrifying context. Through an interpretive analysis of four years of survey data produced through a community-based research (CBR) project on households in the Lacy neighborhood within the City of Santa Ana, California, we find that the neighborhood is simultaneously a site of eviction-based displacement and extreme overcrowding. The results complicate assumptions in the literature regarding the quantification of gentrification and suggest that in addition to direct spatial dislocation and the outward movement of households, highly localized micro-gentrification and regional exclusion may together produce forms of extreme spatial concentration within neighborhoods that make estimating gentrification-induced displacement difficult. Ultimately, by drawing attention to the combination of contrary displacement forms and observable housing deprivation, we argue that the special conditions that have emerged in the Lacy neighborhood are representative of a housing submarket that combines exclusion and insecurity with unequal exchange for renters.
