Housing shortages and the new downturn of residential mobility in the US

Dowell Myers et al.

Summary: Following the global financial crisis, housing shortages have led to a sharp decline in residential mobility, particularly among renters. The Great Recession has caused significant disruptions in the housing market, resulting in a one-third decrease in local mobility rates in the US from 2010 to 2019. Slow housing construction, despite employment recovery and an increasing number of young adults, has intensified competition for rental vacancies. This study investigates how declines in renter mobility in urban areas are related to slower housing construction, fewer rental vacancy chains released by home buyers, concentrations of young adults, and affordability.

Investigating Transit-Induced Displacement Using Eviction Data

Elizabeth C. Delmelle et al.

Summary: This study uses eviction data from four U.S. cities to test the transit-induced displacement hypothesis and finds limited evidence that new transit stations lead to elevated rates of eviction in gentrifiable neighborhoods. In three out of four cities, the opening of the station had an insignificant effect on eviction rates. Only in St. Louis did eviction rates spike following the opening of the line, but this coincided with the financial crisis.
