As the causes and drivers of demographic and land use segregation vary over years, these maps provide an important spatial lens in determining how patterns of segregation spatially and temporally developed during the course of the past century. Using a high-resolution land-use time series (1937-2018) of Denver Colorado USA, in conjunction with 80 years of U.S. Census data, we found divergent land-use and demographics patterns across HOLC categories were both pre-existent to the establishment of HOLC mapping, and continued to develop over time. Over this period, areas deemed \u201cdeclining\u201d or \u201chazardous\u201d had more diverse land use compared \u201cdesirable\u201d areas. \u201cDesirable\u201d areas were dominated by one land-use type (single-family residential), while single-family residential diminished in prominence in the \u201cdeclining/hazardous\u201d areas. This divergence became more established decades after HOLC mapping, with impact to racial metrics and low-income households. We found changes in these demographic patterns also occurred between 2000 and 2019, highlighting how processes like gentrification can develop from both rapid demographic and land-use changes. This study demonstrates how the legacy of urban segregation develops over decades and can simultaneously persist in some neighborhoods while providing openings for fast-paced gentrification in others.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P1RJMRQ5", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6712935ed34eb6a152fc6d2a.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6712935ed34eb6a152fc6d2a", "keyword": ["Denver", "USGS:6712935ed34eb6a152fc6d2a", "United States", "culture and demographics", "land use change", "population (human)", "urbanization"], "modified": "2025-01-21T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-105.064578, 39.653209, -104.875498, 39.791203", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Land use and socioeconomic time-series reveal legacy of redlining on present-day gentrification within a growing United States city."}
