Information
History of Baltimore
Shock trauma Auditorium
• A person in Roland Park in northern Baltimore has a 17 -year longer expected lifespan compared to someone living in the neighborhood around UMMC. • Poverty rates, life expectancy, home-ownership, vacant homes, homicides all follow distinctive geographic patterns in the city of Baltimore. • The history of racial segregation in housing in long. In the post-Civil War era the city created racially designated blocks. These laws were then replaced by Restrictive Covenants to keep non-whites and other “undesirables” from purchasing homes in certain areas. This was followed by red-lining which prevented people in “high-risk” areas from accessing federal loans and being able to purchase homes. All of this has shaped the geography of Baltimore today. • Local involvement is the key to improvement.
