Housing Inequality

Question 9 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Which statement best describes the economy in historically redlined communities?

Answer
A
Enforcement of fair housing laws has stimulated economic recovery.
B
Investment by large corporations has led to economic growth and jobs.
C
Rising property values have begun to equalize past economic losses.
D
Limited access to credit and investment has caused economic stagnation.

Explanation

Historically redlined communities were denied loans and other financial services, limiting residents’ ability to buy homes, start businesses, and build wealth. With less access to credit and investment, local economic activity and growth have often stagnated. Therefore, “Limited access to credit and investment has caused economic stagnation” is the best description.
