![]() ![]() The whole Red Line is built next to former freight railroads. 2.6 miles (4.2 km) of track, including two stations ( Tri-C–Campus District and East 55th), are shared with the light rail Blue and Green Lines the stations have high platforms for the Red Line and low platforms for the Blue and Green Lines. Share how you are using these resources, or post any questions you may have, on GeoNet’s ArcGIS Living Atlas and GIS for Equity and Social Justice spaces.The Red Line (formerly and internally known as Route 66, also known as the Airport–Windermere Line) is a rapid transit line of the RTA Rapid Transit system in Cleveland, Ohio, running from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport northeast to Tower City in downtown Cleveland, then east and northeast to Windermere. You can also find additional resources and content on the Racial Equity GIS Hub. In addition to the layer, an accompanying web map is available or those who just need a map to incorporate into a story map or dashboard. These are just two of the newest resources in ArcGIS Living Alas of the World: a collection of maps, apps, and data layers to support your work. Your approach depends on what question you are trying to answer, and the ArcGIS platform provides many different symbology, filtering, and tabular data options to help you answer your research questions. This layer represents a “fingerprint” of inequity from decades ago whose effects are still being felt today, which can help those in positions to advance equity and social justice. Many organizations are interested in understanding present-day inequities in their communities. In their presentation, “Toward a Just, Green Future: Emerging Approaches for Equitable Public Investment,” they show how neighborhoods with the historical grade of “A” had an average of 17 contaminated sites per square mile in 2017, compared to 38 sites per square mile in neighborhoods that received a grade of “D.” Said another way, historically redlined neighborhoods in Seattle have more than double contaminated sites per square mile today than Seattle neighborhoods historically deemed the “best.” Two analysts from the Seattle area summarized the average number of contaminated sites per square mile by these four grades. Summarize your own data by the four grades.This approach is what an analyst at the city of Asheville, NC used and shared in her presentation: “Mapping Racial Equity in Asheville, North Carolina: A collection of maps about History, Displacement, and Neighborhood Change” when also showing recent displacement on the same map. born neighborhoods that HOLC defined as “still desirable” and sound investments for mortgage lenders. A was traditionally colored in green, B was traditionally colored in blue, C was traditionally colored in yellow, and D was traditionally colored in red.Ī (Best): Always upper- or upper-middle-class White neighborhoods that HOLC defined as posing minimal risk for banks and other mortgage lenders, as they were “ethnically homogeneous” and had room to be further developed.ī (Still Desirable): Generally nearly or completely White, U.S. These maps and neighborhood ratings set the rules for decades of real estate practices. Local real estate developers and appraisers in over 200 cities assigned grades to residential neighborhoods. The HOLC created a neighborhood ranking system infamously known today as redlining. ![]() The Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) was created in the New Deal Era and trained many home appraisers in the 1930s. This ready-to-use layer can provide important context for your work. One topic that came up in many user presentations was redlining because of how valuable GIS-ready historical redlining data can be to help us understand how historical inequities still contribute to inequities today.Ī redlining layer of 143 cities is now available in ArcGIS Living Atlas. The virtual nature of this conference has given me the opportunity to see many user presentations. Not only was it the first ever virtual conference with a record number of attendees, but this year was also the inaugural year for the Equity and Social Justice track for user presentations. ![]()
