Redlining was a discriminatory practice employed in the 1930s of denying loans, credit, and other services to families based on the economic status of their neighborhoods. The practice began when the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) drew maps of residential neighborhoods in 239 cities across the United States between 1935 and 1940 and assigned each neighborhood a grade. The practice of redlining was used to target neighborhoods that had large minority populations, thus reducing their social mobility and quality of life often leading to dramatic racial disparities in healthcare outcomes. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 banned redlining, but the consequences of this discriminatory practice still affect people living in these neighborhoods today. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of historical redlining on infant mortality rates in Richmond, Virginia. A literature search of relevant articles from electronic databases was performed from January 2010 to December 2024 to identify original research pertaining to the impact of historic redlining on current infant mortality-related healthcare outcomes. The redlining status of all the neighborhoods in Richmond, Virginia was analyzed to find patterns related to infant mortality, and infant mortality rates were found to be significantly higher in previously redlined neighborhoods due to less access to resources, worse environmental conditions, and racial disparities. Legislative actions to alleviate the effects of redlining such as building hospitals and healthcare facilities, improving access to educational resources, and increasing access to economic opportunities in these neighborhoods were recommended.
