Recent work on residential displacement-being forced out of one's home-hints that its nature and prevalence have changed during the early twenty-first century. We evaluate this supposition against the backdrop of past displacement research. Reason-for-move data from seven waves of the American Housing Survey (2001-2013) are used to construct displacement measures that range from narrow (limited to forced moves prompted by government or private action or disaster loss) to broad (also including eviction and foreclosure). Our analysis shows that, regardless of measure, no consistent upward trend over time is apparent in the small percentage of mobile households experiencing displacement, although as many as 3.6 million individuals may be affected biennially. We also find that longstanding socioeconomic, racial, and other disparities in displacement persist but tend to be of modest magnitude. Such patterns could contribute to a perception of displacement as socially unpredictable, further heightening public concern about the issue.
最近关于住宅搬迁（被迫离开自己的家）的研究表明，在 21 世纪早期，这种情况的性质和普遍性已经发生了变化。我们在过去的搬迁研究背景下评估这一假设。利用美国住房调查（2001-2013 年）的七轮移动原因数据，构建了从狭义（仅限于因政府或私人行动或灾害损失而被迫搬迁）到广义（还包括驱逐和丧失抵押品赎回权）的搬迁衡量标准。我们的分析表明，无论采用哪种衡量标准，在经历搬迁的少数流动家庭中，时间上并没有明显的持续上升趋势，尽管每年可能有多达 360 万人受到影响。我们还发现，搬迁方面长期存在的社会经济、种族和其他差距仍然存在，但往往幅度较小。这种模式可能导致人们认为搬迁具有不可预测性，从而进一步加剧公众对这一问题的关注。
