In March of 2018 NCRC released a report on the maps of the Home Owner\u2019s Loan Corporation and their influence on present day redlining and segregation<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago<\/a> has revised its analysis of the effect of the 1930s HOLC \u201credlining\u201d maps on urban areas and their findings both support and expand on the NCRC analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

This detailed study examined the relationship between redlining, segregation and disinvestment in 145 cities over a 70 year period. The findings include:<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Neighborhoods that were low-graded in the 1930\u2019s as \u201cdeclining\u201d and \u201chazardous\u201d saw significant increases in their share of African American population over the next 40 years. This peaked in 1970, with declines thereafter.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Low-graded neighborhoods saw long-term declines in rates of home ownership, home values, rents, and the credit scores of their residents. The report relates the low grades of neighborhoods to enduring disinvestment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The ratings of neighborhoods in the HOLC maps had a causal and lasting effect on the development of urban neighborhoods.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The report explains that the low grading of neighborhoods produced \u201c\u2026significant and long-lasting effects on subsequent urban development\u201d because they \u201cled to reduced access to credit and higher borrowing costs\u2026\u201d which reduced the value of homes. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Reduced home values led to increases in default rates and decreased investment in home improvements. This resulted in the physical deterioration of the housing stock, a primary cause of neighborhood blight.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In over 200 cities the HOLC mapped the redlined nucleus of our cities that in many cases persists today. Housing segregation leads to less wealth, poor school quality and a lower quality of life<\/a>.\u00a0 Intractable concentrated poverty continues to plague these cities, and by using data not available to the public the Fed has shown that this is directly linked to the misguided early redlining efforts of the federal government.\u00a0 The study shows that landmark civil rights legislation, such as the Fair housing Act of 1968 and Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, helped spur some investment in the hardest hit areas but hasn\u2019t reversed decades of legal segregation.<\/span><\/p>\n
