A new study is sparking discussions about equality in the Bay Area as it mapped out the 20 most segregated neighborhoods around the region.
And according to Tran, the division can have far reaching impacts on communities of color, creating lasting disadvantage in a number of areas.
“We know that in these outer parts of the region, there is less access to jobs, to services to quality housing and good schools,” she said. But Tran is hopeful this report could lead to some changes with cities and counties across the bay area updating housing plans and addressing long-standing barriers to integration like housing.
“They can look at this data to see which exclusionary neighborhoods, they can add affordable housing to increase accessibility to these places,” Tran said.
