BACKGROUND: Collective efficacy has been associated with many health benefits at
the neighborhood level. Therefore, understanding why some communities have
greater collective efficacy than others is important from a public health
perspective. This study examined the relationship between gentrification and
collective efficacy, in Montreal Canada. METHODS: A gentrification index was
created using tract level median household income, proportion of the population
with a bachelor's degree, average rent, proportion of the population with low
income, and proportion of the population aged 30-44. Multilevel linear regression
analyses were conducted to measure the association between gentrification and
individual level collective efficacy. RESULTS: Gentrification was positively
associated with collective efficacy. Gentrifiers (individuals moving into
gentrifying neighborhoods) had higher collective efficacy than individuals that
lived in a neighborhood that did not gentrify. Perceptions of collective efficacy
of the original residents of gentrifying neighborhoods were not significantly
different from the perceptions of neighborhood collective efficacy of
gentrifiers. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that gentrification was positively
associated with perceived collective efficacy. This implies that gentrification
could have beneficial health effects for individuals living in gentrifying
neighborhoods.
