Understanding Latinx Perceptions of and Responses to Neighborhood ChangeFootnote

1 ‘Latinx’ is recognized as a pan-ethnic label for those with Latin American ancestry and acts to ungender Latina/o (Salinas & Lozano, Citation2021). It is used throughout this paper for consistency when referring to participants overall. However, not all individuals identify completely with this term and instead describe themselves as Hispanic, Latino/a, Chicano/a, or Mexican American, etc. (García, Citation2020). When participants referred to themselves with a particular term, that term is used to identify them.
