===== Definition ===== District racial segregation refers to the spatial separation of different racial or ethnic groups within a specific geographical area, often resulting in distinct neighborhoods or communities with a predominant racial or ethnic composition. This separation can be enforced through various means, such as discriminatory housing policies, economic disparities, or social factors. District racial segregation has historically been prevalent in many cities and regions, especially in the United States, where it was reinforced through practices such as redlining, restrictive covenants, and zoning ordinances. These discriminatory policies led to the concentration of certain racial or ethnic groups in specific neighborhoods, while excluding others from accessing certain areas or resources. While significant progress has been made in addressing and combating district racial segregation through civil rights legislation and fair housing initiatives, its legacy continues to persist in many communities. Efforts to promote integration, diversity, and equity in housing and neighborhood development remain ongoing challenges in addressing the lasting effects of district racial segregation.
