Rentals in Atlanta’s Black communities largely owned by landlords in nearby affluent neighborhoods
About this episode
The episode discusses research on rental properties in Atlanta's Black communities and their ownership by absentee landlords from affluent neighborhoods.
Newly published research at Georgia State University found that rental properties in historically Black, lower-income neighborhoods are mostly locally owned by absentee landlords in whiter, more affluent neighborhoods. But the rental properties in those more affluent neighborhoods are largely owned by landlords outside of the region and even the state of Georgia. Taylor Shelton, is an associate professor in the department of geosciences and Ryan Pardue, is a doctoral student in the Urban Studies Institute at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. Both Shelton and Pardue collaborated on the GSU study and discussed it on this edition of “ Closer Look .” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
