A few months ago, I merged two data sets: one depicting Seattle’s history of redlining in the 20th century, and another that showed every building demolition project since around the year 2000.
What I found was that these historically redlined districts have see over 10x the amount of demolition that explicitly white neighborhoods have had.
I’ll put this online sometime soon. It’s really astonishing to see the data.
