neighborhood segregation

Neighborhood segregation refers to the physical and social separation of people based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status within different areas of a city or community. This often results from historical policies, economic disparities, or choices that lead to certain groups living in specific neighborhoods, which can limit access to resources like quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Segregation can reinforce inequalities and reduce social integration, affecting community cohesion and individual well-being. Addressing neighborhood segregation involves understanding its roots and working towards more inclusive, integrated communities.
