discrimination by the federal government\u2014were less likely to conceive than those who lived in neighborhoods the government deemed favorable for mortgage lending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The racist <a href=\"https:\/\/dsl.richmond.edu\/panorama\/redlining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">practice<\/a> ran from the 1930s to 1968, during which the federal Home Owners\u2019 Loan Corporation (HOLC) drew maps that graded neighborhoods based on how risky the organization thought it would be to provide home loans. Neighborhoods with larger Black populations and other marginalized groups were frequently deemed too risky, which prevented many people of color from building generational wealth and discouraged broader neighborhood investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new findings provide sobering insight into how structural racism borne from past harmful policies, laws, and practices continues to influence health in the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInfertility affects up to 15 percent of reproductive-aged couples in the United States, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/40246287\/\" target=\"_blank\">communities of color<\/a> experience a disproportionate share of this burden,\u201d says <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sharondamlovett\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sharonda Lovett<\/a>, lead author of the <em>AJE<\/em> study, and a postdoctoral research associate in epidemiology. \u201cOur findings support a growing body of fertility research that suggests individual-level factors such as education, income, nutrition, medication, and exercise do not fully explain the disparities we observe across racial and ethnic groups. Redlining, along with other historical and contemporary neighborhood conditions such as racial zoning and segregation, may play a role. In our studies, we hypothesized that redlining is an antecedent of present-day disparities that initiated or reinforced place-based social, economic, and environmental processes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lovett\u2019s study was the first to explore how historical practices shape fertility outcomes today, followed shortly by the study in <em>Epidemiology<\/em>, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/mary-willis\/\">Mary Willis<\/a>, assistant professor of epidemiology. Both researchers contributed to the pair of studies, allowing for comparison of methods and results across two unique study populations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both analyses link US residential addresses to neighborhoods that received HOLC grading on perceived riskiness for mortgage lending, with an A or B grade denoting a \u201cdesirable,\u201d neighborhood, a C for \u201cdeclining,\u201d and a D for \u201chazardous,\u201d or redlined. The research teams then applied probability models to measure residents\u2019 fecundability, or the per-cycle probability of conception among couples who are not using contraception.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>AJE<\/em> analysis assessed sociodemographic and reproductive data among more than 1,900 US residents in 37 states who participated in SPH\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/presto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pregnancy Study Online<\/a> (PRESTO), the largest web-based preconception cohort study of pregnancy planners in North America. The results show that currently living in a historically redlined, \u201chazardous\u201d neighborhood was associated with a 14-percent lower fecundability compared with participants living in a neighborhood that received an A or B rating. This association was even stronger among people with less education and lower household income, reflecting the multiple forms of inequities that can develop due to the lack of resources and opportunities in disinvested communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-784x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263078\" width=\"-342\" height=\"-447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-784x1024.png 784w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-487x636.png 487w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-768x1004.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-755x987.png 755w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-765x1000.png 765w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped-689x900.png 689w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-24-at-19-03-08-Mapping-Inequality-cropped.png 815w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><figcaption>Beginning in the 1930s, the Home Owners&#8217; Loan Corporation developed color-coded maps that displayed the &#8220;risk&#8221; level for mortgage lending in different neighborhoods, using green for &#8220;best,&#8221; blue for &#8220;still desirable,&#8221; yellow for &#8220;definitely declining,&#8221; and red for &#8220;hazardous.&#8221; In Greater Boston, some of the most redlined neighborhoods were Roxbury, the South, North, and West Ends, Charlestown, and parts of Dorchester and South Boston.

Similarly, the researchers found that participants were 9 percent and 18 percent less likely to become pregnant if they lived in neighborhoods that received a C or D HOLC rating, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur pair of studies contribute to the body of evidence that historical programs and policies that reinforce structural racism can impact contemporary population health outcomes,\u201d says Willis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of mechanisms that may contribute to these disparities, she says. \u201cNeighborhoods that received the lowest grades often have more air pollution, fewer parks and tree cover, limited societal resources such as employment opportunities and medical care, and more factories or highways nearby. Living in a neighborhood that has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/news\/articles\/2022\/where-you-live-is-associated-with-your-ability-to-conceive\/\">neglected<\/a> and underfunded can also yield chronic stress on the body, and be compounded by increased inflammation and other harmful physical changes from environmental hazards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these conditions create a \u201cdouble jeopardy\u201d situation where communities that were already facing discrimination are also more likely to face social and environmental hazards that yield worse health outcomes, including infertility, Willis says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the researchers also observed that people who obtained higher education or currently live in neighborhoods with a higher socioeconomic status were less likely to encounter problems with conceiving, suggesting that efforts to develop equitable opportunities and resources in these communities could mitigate or prevent some of the harmful consequences of structural racism. Currently, Black families\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/homeownership-racial-segregation-and-policies-for-racial-wealth-equity\/#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">homeownership rate<\/a> is about 46 percent, compared to nearly 76 percent of White families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReinvesting in the infrastructure of redlined neighborhoods and programs to reduce the uneven mortgage costs for Black, Hispanic, or immigrant homeowners are two of the long-term interventions that have the potential to offset the long-running impact of historical redlining,\u201d says Willis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At SPH, the <em>AJE<\/em> study was coauthored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/lauren-wise\/\">Lauren Wise<\/a>, professor of epidemiology; epidemiology research assistants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/erin-campbell\/\">Erin Campbell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/urban\/profile\/kaylin-vrkljan\/\">Kaylin Vrkljan<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/kipruto-kirwa\/\">Kipruto Kirwa<\/a>, assistant professor of environmental health; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/amelia-wesselink\/\">Amelia Wesselink<\/a>, research assistant professor of epidemiology; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/kenneth-rothman\/\">Kenneth Rothman<\/a>, professor of epidemiology.
