Description
In 1937, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) assigned grades of A, B, C, and D to neighborhoods and land tracts across the U.S. These grades were meant to indicate the perceived risk for homeownership loans, but they were deeply racist and classist. Neighborhoods with predominantly Black and immigrant populations were often rated the lowest (C and D), which led to disinvestment, lower home values, and greater racial segregation.The two maps in this project illustrate the long-term effects of redlining in the East Bay, particularly in terms of racial segregation.
