housing inequality

Housing inequality refers to the disparities in access to safe, affordable, and quality housing among different groups of people, often influenced by factors such as income, race, and location. It results in some individuals living in well-maintained neighborhoods with resources, while others are relegated to substandard housing in underserved areas. This inequality can perpetuate cycles of poverty, limit access to education and job opportunities, and affect overall well-being. Addressing housing inequality requires policies and efforts to ensure that everyone has equitable access to housing that meets their needs and promotes social and economic stability.
