Italian term

sostituzione sociale

Italian to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. urban regeneration, housing, etc.
not sure what to cal this in English; here is a definition:

fenomeni di sostituzione sociale, dove gli interventi “migliorativi” generano un effetto di
espulsione degli abitanti residenti che non possono più permettersi di abitare quel luogo.

sounds rather like gentrification, but not sure that's quite the same.

social displacement

Sostituzione sociale it's similar to gentrification, but not exactly the same.

This might be another viable option, I think, even if I have a few doubts about the word "social", since social displacement also identifies a mental condition (if I am not mistaken).
Anyway, Rachel, take a look at the link, the first one is quite interesting.

Displacement is a change in the class composition of a neighborhood over time.

Luxembourg's recent history has seen much gentrification and increases in the prices of real estate in the city centre, which has lead to considerable social displacement.

social turnover

Just an idea - although "gentrification" was the first thing that sprang to mind.

social replacement

Although it may seem banal, social replacement is widespread on the web; iin my opinion, as you guessed, it really sounds just like a synonym for gentrification.
