\u201cFoliage in abandoned<\/u> neighborhoods is never in short\u00a0supply.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Here’s a fun real estate analysis exercise, one you’re unlikely to see anywhere else:<\/p>\n

If a neighborhood has a very high ChaosScore\u2122,<\/a> will it have better or worse tree coverage than one with a low score?<\/p>\n

We don’t have to measure chaos. HUD keeps track of rental housing. Will a community that is 75% renters have better foliage than one that is 25% renters?<\/p>\n

Wicked easy, ain’t it? The renter analysis is actually better for understanding tree coverage \u2013 which is also<\/em> racist, lesser minds argue.<\/a> Trees are expensive, high-maintenance amenities, so all the reasons that make homeowners better about upkeep generally make them better about landscaping, too.<\/p>\n

So again, not racism but location, location, location. If you prize wildlife, you pay with a longer commute. If you crave tree-lined streets with rolling lawns, you settle for less house for more money. If you want a lot of house for the least money \u2013 either as a homeowner or an investor \u2013 you buy where the renters are many and the trees are few.<\/p>\n

Everything in economics is a trade-off. You could argue that the tenants in a treeless neighborhood have no better choices. The owners all do. Each one chose the home he bought according to his own hierarchy of values, weighing each material consideration by his own scale. If the home he bought does not yet correspond to his dreams, by fix-up or move-up, someday it can.<\/p>\n
