Single-family zoning dominates the region, excluding poor and minority households from “high-opportunity” areas, a UC Berkeley analysis found.
Three-quarters of Southern California’s neighborhoods are zoned exclusively for detached, single-family homes, contributing to racial segregation and limiting minority access to better schools and resources, according to a UC Berkeley study released Wednesday, March 2.
All the zoning in six cities is limited to single-family houses: Villa Park, Bradbury, La Habra Heights, Rolling Hills, Hidden Hills and Irwindale. Asian populations also increase in single-family neighborhoods, while Black populations showed gradual declines as the proportion of single-family zoning rises.
The study also found that neighborhoods with mixed zoning tended to have lower levels of educational and professional achievement and a “disturbing correlation” between pollution and housing.
