On April 14, in collaboration with WFYI Public Media and the Indianapolis Public Library, we will present Data & Drafts: Home Loans and Redlining. Matt Nowlin, Polis Center Interim Community Analysis Manager, will share highlights from Polis research in 2021 in which we used local SAVI data to create a series of statistical models about the effects of loans, segregation, and redlining. 80 years after the federal government encouraged lenders to consider “neighborhood characteristics” like race in their lending decisions, redlining and segregation have a measurable impact on economic opportunity, health outcomes, the environment, and violence.
