“…Neighborhoods were assigned grades in the 1930s by regarding the perceived risk related to mortgage lenders and property investors: A (''best''), B (''still desirable''), C (''declining''), and D (''hazardous'') [30]. Lower grades were associated with the presence of more minoritized people including Black, East Asian, Filipino, and foreign-born residents.…”

Purpose of reviewThe persistent rise in kidney stone prevalence in recent decades has prompted much speculation as to the causes. There has been some discussion about the effect of heat on nephrolithiasis. Here, we review recent data and postulate that heat may play a role in stone formation on a large scale and among African-Americans in particular.Recent findingsAfrican-Americans are the race/ancestry group with faster rates of increasing incidence and prevalence of kidney stones. We make the observation that urban heat islands in the United States have resulted in part from the effects of redlining, a practice of systematic segregation and racism in housing that led to the development of neighborhoods with substantial disparities in environmental conditions.SummaryIn this thought experiment, we propose that the disproportionate rise in the prevalence of nephrolithiasis in minoritized populations correlates with increased temperatures specifically in neighborhoods adversely affected by the practice of redlining. We discuss phenomena in support of this hypothesis and ongoing work to test this theory.

This data descriptor outlines the methods used to produce historical housing, economic, and racial data at the neighborhood level for 54 urban areas that were mapped by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC). The output data—available for download via Open Science Framework (OSF)—spans the decennial census years 1940 to 2010, plus the 2015–2019 American Community Survey (ACS), and it comes in two harmonized geographies: HOLC neighborhood boundaries and 2010 vintage census tracts. For each of the years and geographies in this dataset, the output variables include the total population, white population share, Black population share, non-white/non-Black (other) population share, total housing units, proportion of housing units that are single-family detached, proportion of housing units that are occupied, proportion of occupied housing units that are that are owner-occupied, median home value, median contract rent, and median household income. These outputs are provided in the linked OSF repository as CSV files with an accompanying GeoPackage.

The Relationship of Historical Redlining with Present-Day Neighborhood Environmental and Health Outcomes: A Scoping Review and Conceptual Model

2022

Following the Great Depression and related home foreclosures, the federal government established new agencies to facilitate access to affordable home mortgages, including the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA). HOLC and FHA directed widespread neighborhood appraisals to determine investment risk, referred to as “redlining,” which took into account residents’ race. Redlining thereby contributed to segregation, disinvestment, and racial inequities in opportunities for homeownership and wealth accumulation. Recent research examines associations between historical redlining and subsequent environmental determinants of health and health-related outcomes. In this scoping review, we assess the extent of the current body of evidence, the range of outcomes studied, and key study characteristics, examining the direction and strength of the relationship between redlining, neighborhood environments, and health as well as different methodological approaches. Overall, studies nearly universally report evidence of an association between redlining and health-relevant outcomes, although heterogeneity in study design precludes direct comparison of results. We critically consider evidence regarding HOLC’s causality and offer a conceptual framework for the relationship between redlining and present-day health. Finally, we point to key directions for future research to improve and broaden understanding of redlining’s enduring impact and translate findings into public health and planning practice.
