The census numbers showing a population loss in Avondale, plus the overall increase in non-hispanic white population certainly point to what I've been seeing out here, a marked upswing in overall gentrification, with loss of overall family size per residence being somewhat offset by new, denser construction on the relatively few vacant lots in the area.
