The forty-eight-page report, "Philadelphia's Changing Neighborhoods: Gentrification and Other Shifts since 2000," looks at neighborhood change across the city, examining the incidence of gentrification and other measures of the health of the city's neighborhoods.

According the Pew Report, 164 of the city's residential census tracts "experienced statistically significant drops in median household income" between 2000 and 2014. During that same time span, the "number of Philadelphian's living in poverty grew by more than 60,000."
