===== Definition ===== 

Local residential segregation refers to the separation of different racial or ethnic groups into different neighborhoods within a specific geographical area, such as a city or town. This segregation can occur as a result of various factors, including historical racial and socioeconomic inequalities, discriminatory housing practices, and personal preferences.

Local residential segregation often results in unequal access to resources and opportunities for different racial or ethnic groups. It can contribute to disparities in educational attainment, healthcare access, employment opportunities, and overall quality of life. Segregated neighborhoods may also reinforce stereotypes, perpetuate discrimination, and hinder social cohesion.

Efforts have been made to address local residential segregation through policies such as fair housing laws, affirmative action, and community development initiatives. However, achieving true integration and breaking down barriers of segregation remains a complex and ongoing challenge.
