HOLC Redlining Map and Area Description for Inner NE Portland Neighborhood.

Thanks to the folks at Mapping Inequality, in Richmond VA. I have the area descriptions for those 9 Portland areas that were redlined in the 1937 maps of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation. While I have seen the maps before, I haven't seen the actual narrative descriptions until now. 

The first area description is for area labelled D 2, which is in inner NE Portland and included, according to HOLC, three quarter of Portland's black residents. 

The map for that area is HERE and pasted below:

The area description , as a PDF file, is HERE.  (I found it best to download and print the one pager rather than zooming in and out on the screen). 

It includes this detailed description.
