Definition

Perceived neighbourhood segregation refers to an individual's subjective perception of the extent to which different racial or ethnic groups are separated or isolated in a particular neighborhood. It is based on an individual's observations, experiences, and interactions within their community. Perceived neighbourhood segregation may or may not reflect the actual level of segregation in a neighborhood, but it plays a significant role in shaping people's attitudes, behaviors, and sense of belonging within their local community.
