Chicago Insurance Redlining Example
Were insurance companies in Chicago denying insurance in
neighborhoods based on race?
![Page 2: Chicago Insurance Redlining Example Were insurance companies in Chicago denying insurance in neighborhoods based on race?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cc55503460f9498f188/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The background
• In some US cities, services such as insurance are denied based on race
• This is sometimes called “redlining.”• For insurance, many states have a “FAIR” plan
available, for (and limited to) those who cannot obtain insurance in the regular market.
• So an area with high numbers of FAIR plan policies is an area where it is hard to get insurance in the regular market.

The data (for 47 zip codes near Chicago)
• involact = # of new FAIR plan policies and renewals per 100 housing units
• race = % minority
• theft = theft per 1000 population
• fire = fires per 100 housing units
• income = median family income in $1000s

• Descriptive statistics for the variables
• Box plots

• Matrix plots
• etc.

Simple linear regression model
• Fit a model with involact as the response and race as the predictor
• A strong positive relationship gives some evidence for redlining

What’s next
• The matrix plot showed that race is correlated with other predictors, e.g., income, fire, etc.
• So it’s possible that these are the important factors in influencing involact
• Next the full model is fit
![Page 12: Chicago Insurance Redlining Example Were insurance companies in Chicago denying insurance in neighborhoods based on race?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cc55503460f9498f188/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The regression equation is
involact = - 0.609 + 0.00913 race + 0.0388 fire - 0.0103 theft + 0.00827 age

What have we learned?
• Race is still highly significant (t = 3.94, p-value ≈ 0) in the full model
• Income is not significant (this isn’t surprising, since race and income are highly correlated).

Diagnostics
• Some plots are next.
• Uninteresting (good!)
• We’ll ignore more substantial diagnostics such as looking at leverage and influence, although these should be done.
