Using 1970 and 1980 census block data for Washington, D.C., we test several hypotheses about the racial residential consequences of neighborhood revitalization. Areas located in the revitalizing core of the city have a) become whiter in both absolute and proportional terms, consistent with the displacement hypothesis, and b) experienced substantial though difficult to interpret shifts in segregation. The types of racial changes occurring in the core are not apparent elsewhere in Washington, and tract data for 1940-1980 show the core changes to be temporally as well as spatially specific. Because different racial residential trends have accompanied revitalization in other cities, we treat Washington as an exceptional case that helps specify the conditions under which conventional wisdom about neighborhood change is least applicable.
利用华盛顿特区1970年和1980年的人口普查街区数据，我们检验了几个关于社区振兴对种族居住情况影响的假设。位于城市振兴核心区的区域：a) 在绝对数量和比例上都变得更加白人化，这与人口迁移假设相符；b) 经历了隔离方面大幅的、但难以解释的变化。核心区发生的种族变化在华盛顿其他地方并不明显，1940 - 1980年的普查区数据表明，核心区的变化在时间和空间上都具有特殊性。由于其他城市的振兴伴随着不同的种族居住趋势，我们将华盛顿视为一个特殊案例，它有助于明确关于社区变化的传统观念最不适用的条件。
