Data and Code for replication of results. Abstract of paper: In this paper, we
use k-medians clustering to categorize
urban neighborhoods according to the evolution of their Black population share
from 1950 through 1990. We use the resulting classifications to compare the
dynamics of median home values and rents for census tracts with rapid racial
change, tracts with gradual racial turnover, tracts with a stable high Black
population share, and tracts with a stable low Black population share. Our
results imply that Black households that bought homes in neighborhoods with
rapid racial change were likely to have lost money or barely broken even by
1990.
