Dharma verdict
68–78. Suppressed, not low.
Recommendation: invest. A gap of +31 held down by sourced, addressable conditions. The gap is the return. (Gap +31)
What's holding the 42 down
Industrial encirclement & pollution burden

Highway/bridge severance & food apartheid
+6.2
Economic suppression & population collapse

Health outcome gap

Trust is a core axis of this thesis, not a footnote. High capital with low trust is exactly the pattern the Suppression Weight is built to surface — the Dharma Zone is where capital and trust move together.
LATENTlow capital · high trust
Trust is high but capital hasn’t arrived yet — the upside the thesis chases.
DHARMA ZONEhigh capital · high trust
Capital and community trust move together — the healthy target state.
SUPPRESSEDlow capital · low trust
Both capital and trust are held down — the starting condition suppression creates.
EXTRACTIVEhigh capital · low trust
Money is flowing in but the community doesn’t trust it — value is pulled out, not built.
v1 placeholder calibration (rho=0.80, ceiling=100). No headlineBand pinned (no external pitch value supplied); the engine derives the band from mean confidence. cc=42 sits between Bankhead (41) and Anacostia/Ward 8 (45): Africatown's pure income ratio to its metro/state baseline (67.5%-80.7%) is less extreme than Bankhead's (39% of metro), but that is offset by (a) one of the most severe documented population-collapse trajectories in the seeded set (~12,000 to ~2,000, ~83% decline), (b) an active-litigation-documented industrial-contamination legacy (the 2018, ~1,200-plaintiff lawsuit against International Paper) that is a more specific, stronger evidentiary form of environmental suppression than a percentile score alone, and (c) multiple currently active EPA enforcement "Violation Identified"/"Significant Violation" statuses on the same fenceline corridor as of the live ECHO pull. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner. Per this skill's explicit instruction, the Clotilda/Old Landmark Church heritage and the 2019 wreck discovery / 2023 Africatown Heritage House opening are documented as historical/cultural context only, not priced as a standalone suppression factor — no sourced, quantifiable tourism-revenue or capital-capture dataset was found this pass to price that reach-vs-retained-capital gap (mirrors the Greenwood/"Black Wall Street brand" precedent's same drop; see kill-rule notes in docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/africatown.md).
