Definition
Change the 'what it is' section to a 'definition' section.

Misconceptions
Change the 'what it is not' section to 'misconceptions'. This flows better and makes more sense to the reader. It sounds more advanced than 'what it is' and 'what it isn't'.

Direct Displacement
There are two general circumstances which create direct displacement. First, rising cost of living forces residents to change location when they are unable to afford their current housing situation. Second, more direct means such as evictions (insert wiki page for evictions) and lack of right-of-renewal in leases can force residents out. Similarly, eminent domain (insert wiki page for eminent domain) allows the government to seize private property and aids in community displacement.

Indirect Displacement
Indirect displacement refers to the replacement of those leaving the community. Indirect displacement is when vacancies are filled with those outside of the community and cannot be filled with members of the community due to cost or other factors. Raising rent prices is a common trigger of indirect displacement.

Origin of the Term (edited)
Change "The academic literature describes this movement as serial displacement". This is too broad and doesn't make sense without context. Instead, talk about how specific literature defines it. Use "Serial forced displacement has been defined as the repetitive, coercive upheaval of groups."
