===== Definition ===== Racial segregation in counties can be seen through a variety of indicators, such as residential patterns, economic disparities, educational opportunities, and access to resources. In many cases, racial segregation in counties is a result of historical and systemic discrimination, such as redlining, restrictive covenants, and discriminatory lending practices. Racial segregation can manifest in different ways in different counties, but some common indicators include neighborhoods that are predominantly one race or ethnic group, disparities in income and wealth between racial groups, disparities in access to quality education and healthcare, and disparities in opportunities for economic advancement. Efforts to address racial segregation in counties often involve policies and initiatives that promote fair housing, equitable access to resources and opportunities, and greater opportunities for social and economic mobility for marginalized communities. These efforts may include affordable housing initiatives, diverse school integration programs, anti-discrimination policies, and other measures aimed at promoting racial equity and inclusion.
