>effectively limit housing options for these protected classes
I have head of zip code being protected or personally identifiable information but never a protected class
Also fun fact, "age" as a protected class in the US only refers to discrimination against people over the age of 40.
- google_censors 8y agoIt's not really a protected class, but a case of redlining, which is, to quote wikipedia: "the systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities"

- 0x00000000 8y agoAs far as I know HOPA is the only federal law affecting housing age and it allows them to create "senior only" communities. So it is effectively the same. Older people can discriminate against younger people but younger people cannot discriminate against older people.
- astura 8y ago>Older people can discriminate against younger people No. Family status is protected in housing law, so no, a landlord can't refuse to rent to someone because they have young children. Exceptions apply for certain senior living communities, but they are 55+, not 40+.

- perl4ever 8y agoBecause of de facto segregation, zip code can be highly correlative to a protected class.
