Urban studies discrimination in the rental and sales markets by systematically measuring differential treatment based on race and ethnicity, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and other characteristics. Our experts also examine the federal, state and local policies and practices that created America’s separate and unequal neighborhoods, recommending ways to reduce racial and economic segregation and achieve the goals of free and fair housing choice and healthy, opportunity-rich neighborhoods.
