The study uses data from the American Housing Survey, to determine the effect of gentrification on the displacement of single female headed households across US cities. The factors that are likely to cause the displacement of a single female headed household include age of household head, education level, income, and housing costs. We estimated a logistic regression relating the likelihood that a single female headed household will be affected by gentrification to a set of covariates. The study revealed that the income of the household plays a significant role in the displacement of female headed households. Single female headed households that earned less than 30k were 1.52 times more likely to migrate to a new location than those making 70K per year.  Also, the total cost of housing was a significant determinant of displacement. The study suggested measures that can minimize the impact of gentrification on single female headed households in US cities.
