I am gonna throw out there that I have a sneaking suspicion if we looked at poor residents migrations pre-gentrification they are probably going to be higher than what you would see in middle class neighborhoods since they are so vulnerable (backlog in rent, etc). Outside of projects where the rent is more controlled, you would find yourself moving into different apartments in the hood just because of life shit as a poor person of color.

In a gentrified area that's impossible because once you can't afford the rents in a new apartment in that same hood.

Furthermore in the old paradigm, one poor family moves out, another poor family moves. So lets say those rates stay the same (poor families moving out) it still doesn't show how much the neighborhood is changing since once they leave a whole different demographic moves in.
