Abstract Details

2022, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, Environmental Studies.
The research conducts a detailed analysis of neighborhood change, eviction, and displacement in Cincinnati as a result of recent investment projects under the names of neighborhood improvements, revitalization and green public spaces. I have examined how waves of gentrification have shifted demographic characteristics of residents in the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood of Downtown Cincinnati, and a growing shortage of affordable rental homes for low-income households. Over-The-Rhine is promoted as a success story as it has attracted new developments, businesses and young professionals. However, many old communities of this gentrifying neighborhood have been displaced and evicted during the pandemic. This displacement has affected both residents and small business owners, primarily within the last 15 years. Class, ethnicity, and age of residents/business owners are crucial aspects of this current issue.
