The Royal Society Open Science journal has published a report finding a connection between art and gentrification. Citing the London neighbourhoods of Shoreditch and Dalston, the study found a high proportion of 'art'-related photographs on social media correlated with high relative house price gains after the researchers examined 4.4 million geotagged images on Flickr.
