Given a choice between two neighbourhoods, would I want to move to one that has grow ops or a high rate of social services checkups? Some of that data is already easily available and I know it is being used by real estate agents already. The people that can avoid these neighbourhoods will, which leaves only those that can't. Gentrification.

The neighbourhood I grew up in was heavily mixed (along social strata) which prevented these problems from arising in the first place.

You’re describing people who are stuck in impoverished (correct me if I’m mistaken) where but gentrifications refer to the restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people.

Gentrification has a lot to do with location in proximity to a city center, transportation, waterfront, etc. Just because a neighborhood is safer doesn’t necessarily mean wealthy people will move there, drive up property values indirectly forcing out the poorer residents.

Look at Japan, the country has a universally low crime rate and poor areas are still relatively cost effective for low income residents. https://www.quora.com/Which-part-of-Japan-is-viewed-as-the-p...

I’m not saying this won’t accelerate gentrification of desirable areas currently full of crime in-turn currently avoided wealthier people. But a cost effective solution which results in a net decrease in crime (not a zero sum game where a neighborhood gentrifies and the crime just shifts elsewhere), would likely benefit mostly lower income individuals then most.

Obviously solution nothing is universal beneficial and there is the obvious concern of humans progressing being enslave by black-box AI systems but it has potential to be very beneficial if rolled out in a publicly auditable way.
