Redlined neighborhoods
disproportionately face worse intraurban
disparities in environmental hazards than nonredlined neighborhoods.
Intraurban disparity analysis for (A) overall pollution burden, (B)
noise pollution, (C) vegetation (NDVI*), and (D) temperature across
HOLC grades. Horizontal zero line represents no difference between
the city’s average and a neighborhood’s average environmental
hazard. For graphs A–D, values above the line represent a higher
environmental hazard value (i.e., higher pollution, more noise, and
elevated temperature) than the corresponding cities average. For graph
C, values below the line represent less vegetation value than the
corresponding cities average. Black diamonds represent the mean and
whiskers represent 95% confidence intervals. *NDVI = Normalized Differentiated
Vegetation Index.
