It looks like 1) there is displacement everywhere among low-income residents, indicating that housing security is a problem beyond gentrification and 2) that gentrification does force families to move further, exacerbating costs of transition and dislocation.

Also this study was specific to New York, five boroughs governed as one municipality. It may be hard to extrapolate the findings to the Bay Area where nine counties operate independently (with sub-municipalities). Not to mention the differences in transit infrastructure.

This is sad and fascinating. Is there a clear understanding of why displacement is consistent across areas? Is it just that the whole city is gentrifying then?

Data is data, but I'm sure there is a great deal of variation from one city to another and decade to decade. There are many factors in the housing crisis but the foundation of it all (IMHO) is that prices are rising faster than incomes over all..
