Part Of	RG 195, City Survey File, Seattle, Washington.
Description	In the late 1930s, a federal government agency called the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) began a project to evaluate mortgage risk in cities across the country. Neighborhoods were graded into categories of "best, still desirable, definitely declining, and hazardous." The areas were frequently drawn along racial lines, with areas deemed hazardous marked in red. These maps and reports are the start of redlining, a discriminatory real estate practice which made it harder for people of color to obtain mortgages and purchase homes. To see the accompanying racial map and report, use the links above.
