Abstract
In Baltimore, a vacancy crisis and continuing impacts of historical ‘redlining’ that discouraged investment in minority neighborhoods prompted city officials to use an algorithm generated Housing Market Typology (HMT) map to guide municipal service distribution. The current strategy channels maintenance to wealthier areas and prioritizes tree-planting and demolitions in struggling areas.
