Translation: "Optimizing demographics" is a cold, academic way of saying "Replacing low-income residents with wealthier ones." This is Gentrification disguised as economics.

Strong and aggressive redevelopment (often implies tearing things down).
"Demographic mix"

Cleaned up to look nice, but removing the character, grit, or truth.
"Displacement"
Forcing people to move out of their homes (the negative reality of gentrification).
