LEGACIES OF REDLINING

Spatial Analysis of Environmental Inequities in Miami

Historically redlined neighborhoods experience several risks today including adverse health outcomes, lower property values, minimal green space, and disaster risk. There is a strong relationship between historically redlined neighborhoods and current health outcomes. The legacy of redlining has disparately impacted the Black community. Without immediately addressing brownfield cleanup in the face of increased hurricanes and sea level rise, these long-term impacts on health and wealth will worsen. The analysis found in this story map lays the foundation for understanding the accountability the US government, planners, and corporations must have in addressing these impacts.
