Editing Income segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Income segregation refers to the division of communities or neighborhoods based on income levels. This can manifest in various ways, such as gated communities for higher income households, or low-income housing projects that isolate lower-income individuals from the rest of the community. Income segregation can have negative consequences, such as limiting opportunities for social mobility and exacerbating income inequality. It can also lead to social isolation and perpetuate stereotypes and misconceptions about people of different income levels. Efforts to address income segregation may involve policies aimed at promoting mixed-income housing developments, improving access to affordable housing, and increasing economic opportunities for all residents.
