NATIONAL FAIR HOUSING ALLIANCE, ZILLOW RELEASE JOINT RESEARCH ON LINGERING HOUSING INEQUALITY

摘要

The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) has released a report in partnership with Zillow that details how communities of color in 10 metro areas in the U.S. have access to fewer traditional amenities than largely white neighborhoods. The research, based on data from Yelp, found that communities of color disproportionately lack access to traditional financial outlets, health services, and fitness facilities when compared to communities that are majority white. The stark disparities reflect the ongoing challenge of ensuring equal opportunity across racial lines when the distribution of basic resources remains unequal. "This report crystalizes the daily experiences of unequal treatment and lack of access that communities of color continue to face," said NFHA President and CEO Lisa Rice. "The research shows that housing and opportunity are inextricably linked. We hope this serves as a call to action for our cities-where you live should not affect your access to the building blocks of a healthy, prosperous life."
