HOLC Zoning Map of Harrisburg

ID: 260 | This file appears in: Restrictions on Locust Street
This zoning map of Harrisburg in 1935-1936 by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation shows the city and surrounding communities divided into four grades: “Best,” “Still Desirable,” “Definitely Declining,” and “Hazardous.” The insurance grades, which were designed to assess risk in awarding housing loans according to neighborhoods, was consequential in securing federal loans to the "best" districts, and none to "hazardous" areas.
