Is it?\u0026nbsp;Dan Immergluck\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.planning.gatech.edu\/people\/dan-immergluck\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E,\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;a professor of city and regional planning at Georgia Tech, decided to investigate how and whether greater Atlanta housing was recovering. He used home price estimates from Zillow and compared three-bedroom houses in every zip code in the metro region. Home prices in zip codes Immergluck calls \u0022the favored half\u0022 had rebounded to where they were at the market\u0027s peak. In other zip codes, homes are still worth only about half of what they were in 2001. Immergluck found that one of the primary differences between neighborhoods that have recovered fully and those that have recovered only partially is their racial demographics. Majority-African-American and Hispanic zip codes are recovering more slowly than majority-white zip codes with similar housing stock. Immergluck says the nature of the housing crash might explain the uneven recovery. In the years before the housing bubble burst, minorities were more likely to have had subprime loans and were more likely to have lost their houses. In some neighborhoods, the result was large swaths of homes lost to foreclosure, depressing the value of houses around them.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28044","created_gmt":"2015-03-19 12:48:28","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:24:00","author":"Jessie Brandon","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"AI-based Discovery and Innovation","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/topics\/economy\/atlanta-housing-recovery-neighborhood-matters","dateline":{"date":"2015-03-12T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2015-03-12T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"121831","name":"dan"},{"id":"12994","name":"housing market"},{"id":"13838","name":"Immergluck"},{"id":"121841","name":"racial divide"},{"id":"121851","name":"zillow"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
