Nagase, Daisuke and Kleit, RG. 2017. Redlining Again? Spatial Differences in Residential Mortgage Accessibility during Boom and Bust in Ohio is a report to the Ohio Real Estate Commission, Grant 2016-001, which examines mortgage lending patterns in five Ohio metropolitan areas: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo.
