Nearly a century ago, a federal government agency called the Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded the "residential security" of neighborhoods across the United States. Areas deemed "hazardous" were colored red, and the legal practice of redlining was born.

Redlining continued for decades and contributed to many disparities in cities across the U.S. Recently, the Mapping Inequality Project digitized HOLC maps, allowing researchers to connect present-day, place-based data to the different neighborhood grades.
