Abstract
In this response to reader questions following a public history roundtable “Housing Segregation and Resistance in Portland: Notes on New Research,” published in the Fall 2018 issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly, Helen Ryan surveys the history of the Home Owner Loan Corporation (HOLC) residential security maps and their effect on redlining in the United States. Kenneth Jackson first made a link to redlining and HOLC maps in a publication in 1980, but misinterpretation of his findings have led many scholars to attribute redlining practices to that agency alone. Ryan argues that “the consensus of scholars is difficult to attain on any matter, and the significance of HOLC's residential maps and appraisal methods is no exception.”
