HOLC redlining — 63rd Street corridor (areas incl. D74)

CTL-E-0934 · Institution · other · unspecified

PROVISIONAL evidence grade of this record

HOLC graded large parts of Chicago's South Side, including the Black Belt, D ('hazardous'); the area description for D74 (35th-67th, State to Cottage Grove) explicitly discusses restricting 'the colored people' and cites Washington Park as 'almost completely monopolized by the colored race' as rationale for the grade.

Trust & evidence

Evidence before authority. CultureTechLens publishes its methods, its limits, and its corrections alongside its findings. Claims carry grades — VERIFIED, SUPPORTED, PROVISIONAL, DISPUTED, UNRESOLVED — and unknowns are never reported as zero.

Every claim graded. Every source named. Every correction public — none to date.
