Financial products like equity contracts can mitigate this risk, yet college is typically financed through non-dischargeable, government-backed student loans.

One potential explanation for this pattern is that low-income families prefer such neighborhoods for other reasons, such... ### 2022 Chetty, Raj, Matthew O.
