Question 8 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What causes gentrification?

Answer
A
a reduction of political power in a high-income area
B
an increase of industrial factories in a lower-income area
C
an influx of wealthy people into a lower-income area
D
an increase in suburbanization in a high-income area

Explanation

Gentrification occurs when wealthier people move into a lower-income neighborhood, often bringing new investment and raising housing costs. This can change the neighborhood and make it harder for longtime residents to afford to stay. So the correct choice is an influx of wealthy people into a lower-income area.
