Project Description

View help for Summary
This
study uses a boundary design and propensity score methods to study the effects
of the 1930s-era HOLC “redlining” maps on the long-run trajectories of urban neighborhoods.
The maps led to reduced homeownership rates, house values, and rents and
increased racial segregation in later decades. A comparison on either side of a
city-level population cutoff that determined whether maps were drawn finds broadly
similar conclusions. These results suggest the HOLC maps had meaningful and lasting
effects on the development of urban neighborhoods through reduced credit access
and subsequent disinvestment.
