We study the effects of a policy impeding individuals without employment income from moving into a selection of neighbourhoods. We find that the policy persistently affected composition by increasing the share of employed residents and decreasing the share of residents perceiving welfare benefits or having committed a crime.

We document a behavioural response for long-term residents. Long-term residents increase labour supply, whilst reducing welfare participation. The employment effects for incumbents are driven by women. The welfare effects are driven by young women, and single-head households. We find no effects of the policy on youth outcomes.
