Notes: 1. HOLC designations ranged from "A" areas, which HOLC described as "hot spots" where mortgage lenders were willing to make "maximum loans," to "D" areas, which HOLC described as places with "detrimental influences" and "undesirable populations" where lenders should "refuse to make loans" or do so "only on a conservative basis." 2. "Estimated Percent of Homes Occupied By Owner (2018)" is an estimate based on an average of this figure from each modern Census bloc contained within the historic HOLC areas.
