Gentrification, the increase of affluent residents into low-income neighborhoods, is thought to heighten self-rated stress, especially for residents of color. However, the relationship between gentrification and stress has not been directly measured. This study took advantage of the 2008 and 2010 waves of the Public Health Management Corporation's Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey, the 2000 Census, and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey to investigate the relationship of gentrification to above-average self-rated stress. We paid attention to how racial/ethnic differences in gentrification may uniquely affect stress. We also measured factors associated with gentrification with implications for one's stress including housing cost insecurity and community connection. Using multilevel modeling, we found that gentrifying tracts marked by increases in White residents and declines in non-Whites were more likely to report above-average stress. This study provides evidence that gentrification is related to stress, emphasizing the important role racial/ethnic change has in this process. These findings call for research to unpack the causal mechanisms through which gentrification affects stress.
绅士化，即富裕居民迁入低收入社区的现象，被认为会加剧自我评定的压力，尤其是对有色人种居民而言。然而，绅士化与压力之间的关系尚未得到直接衡量。本研究利用了公共卫生管理公司2008年和2010年的宾夕法尼亚州东南部家庭健康调查、2000年人口普查以及2006 - 2010年美国社区调查，来探究绅士化与高于平均水平的自我评定压力之间的关系。我们关注绅士化过程中的种族/族裔差异如何独特地影响压力。我们还衡量了与绅士化相关且对一个人的压力有影响的因素，包括住房成本不安全感和社区联系。通过多层次建模，我们发现以白人居民增加和非白人居民减少为特征的绅士化区域更有可能报告高于平均水平的压力。本研究提供了证据表明绅士化与压力有关，强调了种族/族裔变化在这一过程中的重要作用。这些发现呼吁开展研究，以揭示绅士化影响压力的因果机制。
