Service Description: Between 1935 and 1940, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation utilized data and appraisals from local real estate agents to assign grades to residential neighborhoods on the basis of "mortgage security". Communities that were considered low risk in terms of investment were given an "A" grade and consequently had higher access to loans and mortgage financing. Areas receiving the lowest grade of "D", in a practice known as redlining today, were deemed "hazardous" to lenders. The data used to assign grades included housing quality, housing pricing history, and the racial makeup of the residential community. Based on the criteria, the "infiltration of inharmonious racial groups" decidedly lowered the property value of certain areas and ultimately created wealth inequalities across racial lines that are still seen today. This data identifies various redlined communities across several major cities in California that have been historically underfunded and discriminated against.
