Redlining Case Studies
Redlining is a practice where banks and insurance companies refuse to offer services in areas deemed high-risk. In the 20th century, redlining was used to refuse banking and insurance services to people of color throughout the country. Pick a neighborhood within an American city that has been redlined. (Almost every major American metropolitan area has been redlined in some way; choose 1 for the assignment). Briefly chart the history of the neighborhood with an emphasis on issues of poverty and crime. Are these neighborhoods that were originally redlined in the early 20th century still struggling with issues of poverty and crime today?
