Only Philly appears on that list, and although Baltimore has some pockets of gentrification (Locust Point, Canton, Station North), they are nowhere near in scale to Philly's gentrification (Fishtown/Northern Liberties, University City, parts of South Philly, the Museum district, the area around Temple). In away DC stole Baltimore's chance at real gentrification, and competes with Philly in that regard (Columbia Heights, Shaw, NoMA, Near Northeast/H Street, Petworth, Adams Morgan, Eastern Market, Navy Yard, Southwest).

isnt bmore economy better than philly tho? id think a good economy helps a place gentrify faster
Lots of those are just downtown areas. The one in Chicago is the heart of the Loop, and a very small area. In that case you could have had a building with a few black people in it and then had one highrise condo building in it inhabited by mostly white people and the stats change drastically. Overall though there just aren't many people there to begin with, and I'd hardly say the heart of the Loop has gentrified THAT much in the past 10 years. Tons of areas in the city have done so to a greater degree.
This. According to City-Data's census info, 78 people lived in 60604 in 2000 and that number increased to 570 in 2010.
It's rather ridiculous that they called a zip code that's in the heart of Chicago's central business district one of the fastest "gentrifying" neighborhoods in the country.
