This study is a reproduction of Charles W. Sterling III et al's study on "Connections Between Present-Day Water Access and Historical Redlining":

Sterling III, Charles W., et al. "Connections between present-day water access and historical redlining." Environmental Justice (2023). doi.org/10.1089/env.2022.0115

This study uses ACS Census data and historical HOLC records of neighborhoods to examine the correlation of historical redlining and current-day access to water in cities. The study uses a binary logistic regression to identify relationships of different demographic and HOLC varaibles to access to water and sewage. The study finds that historically worse HOLC scores were correlated with less access to water in cities across all regions of the United States.

This research compendium is structured with four main directories:

• data: contains subdirectories for raw data and derived data.
• docs: contains subdirectories for manuscript, presentation, and report
• procedure: contains subdirectories for code or software scripts, information about the computational environment in which the research was conducted, and non-code research protocols
• results: contains subdirectories for figures, formatted data tables, or other formats of research results.

The data, procedures, and results of this repository are outlined in three tables:

• Data: data/data_index.csv
• Procedures: procedure/procedure_index.csv
• Results: results/results_index.csv

Important local documents include:

• Pre-analysis plan: docs/report/preanalysis.pdf
• Study report: docs/report/report.pdf
• Manuscript: docs/manuscript/manuscript.pdf
• Presentation: docs/presentation/presentation.pdf
