Housing Discrimination Study: Mapping Patterns of Steering for Five MetropolitanAreas

摘要

The report presents maps that illustrate patterns of racial and ethnic steering.It was prepared as part of the Housing Discrimination Study, a two-year fair housing audit study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Policy Development and Research. Maps were developed only for the five 'in-depth' audit sites, where large numbers of audits were conducted. They are part of the Housing Discrimination Study's broader analysis of racial and ethnic steering, which tests the hypothesis that black and Hispanic homebuyers are 'steered' away from predominantly white Anglo neighborhoods, and offered housing opportunities in integrated or minority neighborhoods instead.
