(pp. 2, Report of the Durham RETF: Introduction) I Over the past 30 years, home values rose in black neighborhoods, as they lost black residents. I Request for racial wealth gap data (pp. 7, Report of the Durham RETF: Let the Record Show) I Across all geographies, we observe disparities in home values between Black and White homeowners I Black homes would have been worth $100,000 more had they appreciated at the same rate as white homes I Historically trace the effect on housing prices and rents. (pp. 8, Report of the Durham RETF: Let the Record Show) I Historic disparities created by redlining persist today 5/24 Part 1: Home values by HOLC neighborhood 6/24 Home values by HOLC neighborhood I How did the trajectory of home values differ by race of home-owner and neighborhood in 1940? I We collect data from the 1940 decennial census on addresses in Durham that: I were owner-occupied in 1940 I within the boundary of the HOLC map I unambiguously within one of the HOLC rated neighborhoods I still exist today I structures have not been rebuilt I have been sold between 1997 and 2020 I We find significant differences in the amount of accumulated value over time by neighborhood rating 7/24 Home values by HOLC neighborhood Figure: Map of Durham + areas rated by the HOLC + sample addresses 8/24 Home values by HOLC neighborhood Figure: Home values in 1940 and the present by HOLC area rating 9/24 Part 2: Home values by census tract 10/24 Home values by census tract I How did the trajectory of home values differ by neighborhood composition? I We divide census tracts into three categories: I White: remained >50 % white, 1970-2016 I Black: remained >50 % black, 1970-2016 I Mixed: all other tracts I We collect data from the 1940 decennial census on addresses in Durham that: I were owner-occupied I within the boundary of the HOLC map I matched exactly to a census tract I still exist today I structures have not been rebuilt I We find significant differences in the amount of accumulated value over time across tract categories 11/24 Home values by census tract Figure: Map of Durham + census tracts + sample addresses 12/24 Home values by census tract Figure: Home values by by census tract type (1940-2020) 13/24 Home values by census tract Figure: Percent change in home values relative to 1940 by census tract type 14/24 Home values by census tract Figure: Home values in 1940 and the present by census tract type 15/24 Home values by census tract Figure: Disparities in home values between black and white tracts since 1970 16/24 Home values by census tract What if homes in black tracts appreciated at the same rate as homes in white tracks? Figure: With identical appreciation rates as white tracts, home values in black tracks would have been $98,074.40 higher in 2016. 17/24 Part 3: Contemporary demographic and home value changes 18/24 Contemporary demographic and home value changes I How do home values change as neighborhood composition changes? I We divide census tracts into three categories: I White: remained >50 % white, 1970-2016 I Black: remained >50 % black, 1970-2016 I Mixed: all other tracts I We collect data from the 1940 decennial census on addresses in Durham that: I were owner-occupied I within the boundary of the HOLC map I matched exactly to a census tract I still exist today I include structures that have been rebuilt I We find that home values in black census tracts rise as they lose black residents 19/24 Contemporary demographic and home value changes Figure: Racial composition of census blocks in 2010 census data 20/24 Contemporary demographic and home value changes Figure: Demographic changes in each Durham census tract (1970-2016) 21/24 Contemporary demographic and home value changes 22/24 Contemporary demographic and home value changes Figure: Demographic and home value changes in black tracts 23/24 Thank you 24/24 THE MOST EFFECTIVE LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR TENANTS FACING EVICTION ARE GONE The effective legal moratoriums are over; the CDC moratorium is not effectively limiting evictions – The NC Governor’s moratorium, the Chief Justice’s partial closure of the courts, and the CARES Act partial eviction moratorium are essentially expired, but still have some affect on ongoing cases • Payment plan and no late fees for June rent per Gov’s order • Chief Justice’s orders require a CARES Act Affidavit • CARES Act may still apply to covered properties in 30-day notice requirement and prohibition on evictions while mortgage payments deferred under CARES – CDC is not a really a moratorium • Landlords are filing cases • Clerks are accepting those filings and courts are hearing them • Sheriffs are executing writs CDC “Moratorium” – Covers non-payment of rent • Not Criminal Activity or threats to health and safety • Law is unsettled as to “holdover” and other breaches – Operates as a defense for tenants – Prohibits eviction if Tenant signs a declaration and provides a copy to the landlord • Tenant must state that they lost income or had health expenses due to COVID-19 and can’t pay rent • That they would become homeless if evicted • That they are making efforts to pay • That they have applied for government assistance • That they received a stimulus check or make below $99K/year – Criminal penalties for fraudulent declarations, but eviction courts should not inquire as to accuracy – Tenant must go to court to assert this as a defense – Durham courts are generally not dismissing these cases even if the tenant is in court with the declaration; often just continuing two weeks Eviction Filings and expected filings – We saw very few filings from April through June due to prior legal protections – “Evictions began to creep back up in July and August with around 200 summary ejectments and writs of possession occurring each month.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

Ideophones are defined as a set of words that are phonologically and morphologically marked and depict some form of sensory image (Dingemanse 2011b). Middle Chinese has a large body of ideophones, whose domains range from the depiction of sound, movement, visual and other external senses to the depiction of internal senses (cf. Dingemanse 2012a). There is some work on modern variants of Sinitic languages (cf. Mok 2001; Bodomo 2006; de Sousa 2008; de Sousa 2011; Meng 2012; Wu 2014), but so far, there is no encompassing study of ideophones of a stage in the historical development of Sinitic languages. The purpose of this study is to develop a descriptive model for ideophones in Middle Chinese, which is compatible with what we know about them cross-linguistically. The main research question of this study is “what are the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic features of ideophones in Middle Chinese?” This question is studied in terms of three parameters, viz. the parameters of form, of meaning and of use.

We could not do this work without the support of so many others. Our county manager, Wendell Davis, county attorney, Lowell Siler, our General Managers, Gayle Harris, Jay Gibson, Claudia Hager, Jodi Miller, Deborah Craig Ray, and our chief of staff, Drew Cummings, thank you for the expertise you provide. I also want to recognize the awesome clerk to our board, Michelle Parker Evans and her wonderful staff, Macio Carlton, Tania De Los Santos and Monica Toomer. We are sad to report that Michelle will be leaving us on May 1 after more than 30 years in local government.
