Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between the presence of Chinese restaurants and neighborhood change in New York City. The core metric used for analysis in this article is a Chinese restaurant index, which is a transformed and scaled percentage of restaurants in a neighborhood that can be classified as Chinese. As an inexpensive and plentiful dining option, Chinese restaurants have an association with working-class neighborhoods, and neighborhood-level Chinese restaurant index decreases over time were associated with gentrification in New York City. This methodology further demonstrates the potential for the use of retail-based analysis as a supplement to conventional gentrification metrics based on demographic and real estate data.
