Abstract:

Much of the previous work on gentrification has focused on the gentrifiers and their patterns of consumption. Previous work has also identified gentrifiers as a widely varying group, unable to be defined by sexual preference, income, education, ethnicity or occupation. For example, while some case studies document gentrifiers as young artists in need of loft space, others portray gentrifiers as higher income couples restoring historical structures. In addition, many previous scholars have attributed gentrification to lifestyle preferences and land-use dynamics – economic motives at base. In this paper, I present evidence for the theory that modern gentrifiers, specifically those who participate in neighborhood turnover in its early stages, are best defined by their stage in the life cycle: an extended period of early adulthood after college but before family rearing. Such an approach allows one to contextualize economic decision making within a life course framework that may account for certain consumption patterns, household income, and lifestyle preferences. Findings are based on in-depth interviews with a randomly chosen sample of in-movers in one gentrified neighborhood in Chicago.
