The study, published recently in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, combines mental - health data from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) and Landsat 5 satellite data from July 2009 that analyzed how much vegetation was present in each of
the SHOW census blocks.
Defined by the United States
Census Bureau as
Block 3000,
Block Group 3,
Census Tract 29.10 of Santa Barbara County, the 2000
census showed an official population of two persons.
While the aggregated HMDA data, which
shows lending activity by race / ethnicity / sex, geographic location, income levels, type of collateral, and economic status of
census tracts or
blocks, does not prove discrimination, it may reveal lending patterns that warrant further investigation by federal financial regulators.
