Abstract: Previous research on the long-term effects of redlining in the United States has found that areas receiving a D grade have lower homeownership rates and home values as well as declines in population density. Here, we focus on the heterogeneity of such impacts. Using Home Owners’ Loan Corporation descriptive data, we categorize D-graded neighborhoods according to initial population composition. We then compare neighborhood outcomes over time and across regions. We find that receiving a D grade is not a universal predictor of either lower homeownership rates or increased racial segregation. D-graded areas that only noted immigrant populations did not have lower homeownership rates or higher black populations by 2000 than C-graded neighborhoods. These results point to the fact that redlining was interacting with localized trends of discrimination and residential mobility, rather than redlining causing differential trajectories in neighborhoods.
