===== Definition ===== 

Ethnic housing segregation refers to the physical separation of different ethnic or racial groups into distinct residential areas or neighborhoods. This separation can be voluntary or enforced through government policies, economic factors, or social attitudes.

Historically, ethnic housing segregation has often resulted from systemic discrimination and racial or ethnic tensions. In many countries, including the United States, racial segregation was legally enforced through laws such as Jim Crow laws or redlining policies. These practices restricted access to housing for minority groups, forced them into specific neighborhoods, and perpetuated socioeconomic disparities.

Even after the legal end to racial segregation, ethnic housing segregation continues to persist due to factors such as economic inequality, cultural preferences, and social norms. Economic disparities often limit affordable housing options for marginalized communities, leading to concentrations of poverty and racial segregation in certain neighborhoods.

Ethnic housing segregation can have significant social, economic, and political consequences. Concentrated poverty in segregated neighborhoods can perpetuate limited access to quality education, healthcare, and other resources, creating a cycle of disadvantage. It can also lead to political marginalization as segregated communities may have less political representation and voice in decision-making processes.

Efforts to address ethnic housing segregation often focus on promoting fair housing policies, providing affordable housing options in different neighborhoods, and combating systemic discrimination. These efforts aim to create inclusive, diverse, and equitable communities where individuals have equal opportunities regardless of their race or ethnicity.
