At-risk communities

At-risk communities refer to groups of people who face higher chances of experiencing social, economic, or environmental challenges, often due to factors like poverty, lack of access to education, healthcare, or safe housing. These communities may be vulnerable to issues such as crime, unemployment, and health disparities. Factors such as race, ethnicity, and geographic location can contribute to their status. Efforts to support at-risk communities often focus on improving resources, opportunities, and overall resilience to foster better living conditions and outcomes for their members.
