Finding: premiums for white neighborhoods drop below risk while minority neighborhoods are charged higher rates — labeled the forgiveness gap. Concrete examples show one driver in a minority zip paying ~$200/month vs $55 for a similar-risk driver in a white zip, and regulators in California force some companies to adjust rates.
