This book investigates the patterns and causes of residential displacement in the United States during a specific period of significant urban change from 1970 to 1977. Authored by Michael S. S. Owen and Sandra J. Newman, the work draws upon data and analysis from that era to understand how population shifts affected housing markets and community structures. It aims to provide a detailed examination of the socio-economic factors contributing to these movements and their implications for urban policy.
