Analysis & Mapping of Michigan Licensed Appraisers (1990-2020s) Presented by David Palmer

Watch David Palmer’s breakout session at the 2024 Innovate Michigan! Summit, where he presents his project: "2024: Analysis & Mapping of Michigan Licensed Appraisers (1990-2020s)." This insightful session dives into racial disparities in Michigan’s appraisal industry, exploring how the overwhelming majority of licensed appraisers in Michigan—95% being white—affects home valuations, particularly in Black communities like Detroit.

David Palmer uses public data from 1980 to 2022 to highlight the demographic composition of appraisers and the impact of underrepresentation on fair housing practices. His research provides crucial insights into how appraisers shape wealth generation and homeownership, especially in historically marginalized communities.

Stay tuned for the final report, which will be published soon! For more information, visit the REI website (https://reicenter.org/projects/comple...) to check out the full project details.
