From Redlining to Child Opportunity
We present the only dataset available that maps child opportunity today to “redlining,” the 1930s neighborhood risk grades assigned by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC). Our map app shows how redlining intersects with contemporary child opportunity. New data stories highlight lessons learned about the impact of redlining on segregation and child health.
