Image description:
A 3-layered map of New Orleans shows the flood risk from hurricanes, by neighborhood, by 2050. Layer 1 shows that the potential for damage from hurricanes could double by 2050. Layer 2 shows New Orleans’ redlined districts, defining redlining as a discriminatory lending practice that began in the 1930s, when federal authorities and banks drew red lines around urban areas with high concentrations of racial and ethnic minorities. Layer 3 merges the first 2 and shows the correlation between redlined districts and increased flood risk.
