Question

question 8 of 10
what was true about black neighborhoods under de facto segregation in northern cities?
a. housing was more expensive than in white areas.
b. there was a lack of public services.
c. there were not many residents.
d. housing was newer than in white areas.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Under de facto segregation, housing in black neighborhoods was typically cheaper or overpriced due to redlining, not more expensive than white areas. Eliminate A.
• Option B: De facto segregation led to disinvestment in black neighborhoods, resulting in a lack of public services (like good schools, infrastructure). This is consistent with historical context.
• Option C: Black neighborhoods were often densely populated, so "not many residents" is incorrect. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Housing in black neighborhoods was older and in worse condition than white areas, so "newer" is false. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. There was a lack of public services.
