Contrary to conventional wisdom, green is not the only color that matters to lenders. This case study of Milwaukee, Wisconsin--a fairly typical urban area that has experienced systematic disinvestment and a budding reinvestment movement--demonstrates the continuing significance of race in determining who gets home mortgage and small business loans.
