“Urban Communities in Transition: Puerto Ricans and Gentrification in the South Bronx” Abstract:  This presentation will examine patterns of gentrification in the South Bronx, a predominantly Puerto Rican/Latino neighborhood.  The research uses both quantitative and qualitative analyses.  The quantitative aspect uses government statistics to examine the demographic profile and change of the neighborhood over time.  The qualitative aspect utilizes face to face interviews.  Preliminary findings suggest that gentrification is occurring in small sections of this community.
