This paper(w/ @laurafursich.bsky.social ) answers growing calls for more general, multilevel description of socioeconomic growth, and coarse graining methods that preserve microscopic spatial patterns. More broadly, this paper introduces an exact method to decompose any kinds of hierarchical data.

These sorting patterns reflect real residential choices - such as do prevailing incomes affect decisions? Where/at what scale are incomes important?
We can answer these questions exactly with the Price equation, and show just how much residential choices affect overall income growth.

rich change, but also we can identify evidence of emerging demographic processes like gentrification, divestment, and reinvestment.
This paper introduces the Price equation, a method from the evolution literature for decomposing growth, such as in incomes, in terms real gains and population sorting

Cities are dynamos of demographic change, however our data practices can often hide this fact. In this paper, we explore growth in Chicago, a city purportedly burdened by a stagnating population. Using methods from population ecology, we show that not only is Chicago undergoing rapid, spatially...
