From this, 15,000+ deeds were identified as containing racially restrictive covenants. This method represents a significant step in historical documentation, and the process is being documented so that it is accessible for other jurisdictions interested in similar projects.</span></span></p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/api/download/v1/items/edf8323cf26f42c182b875966af07947/csv?layers=0", "format": "CSV", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "CSV"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/api/download/v1/items/edf8323cf26f42c182b875966af07947/geojson?layers=0", "format": "GeoJSON", "mediaType": "application/vnd.geo+json", "title": "GeoJSON"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/api/download/v1/items/edf8323cf26f42c182b875966af07947/kml?layers=0", "format": "KML", "mediaType": "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml", "title": "KML"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/api/download/v1/items/edf8323cf26f42c182b875966af07947/shapefile?layers=0", "format": "ZIP", "mediaType": "application/zip", "title": "Shapefile"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/Wake::wake-racially-restrictive-covenants-", "format": "Web Page", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "ArcGIS Hub Dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://services1.arcgis.com/a7CWfuGP5ZnLYE7I/arcgis/rest/services/Wake_Restrictive_Covenants_March_2026/FeatureServer/0", "format": "ArcGIS GeoServices REST API", "mediaType": "application/json", "title": "ArcGIS GeoService"}], "identifier": "https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=edf8323cf26f42c182b875966af07947&sublayer=0", "issued": "2026-03-23T15:00:07.000Z", "keyword": ["ROD", "Racially Restrictive Convenants"], "landingPage": "https://data-wake.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/Wake::wake-racially-restrictive-covenants-", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0", "modified": "2026-05-13T19:06:00.101Z", "publisher": {"name": "Wake County"}, "spatial": "-78.9633,35.5772,-78.3073,35.9921", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Wake Racially Restrictive Covenants "}
