Editing Neighborhood racial segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Neighborhood racial segregation refers to the phenomenon of certain racial or ethnic groups being concentrated in specific neighborhoods or areas within a city or region. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including historical patterns of housing discrimination and redlining, economic disparities, social networks, and personal preferences.

Racial segregation has deep historical roots in many countries, including the United States, where it was prevalent during the era of Jim Crow laws and remains a significant issue today. In the United States, neighborhoods can be segregated along racial lines, with African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, or other minority groups being disproportionately clustered in certain communities.

Some of the consequences of neighborhood racial segregation include disparities in access to quality education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and other resources. Segregated neighborhoods often face higher levels of poverty, crime rates, and limited social mobility.

Various efforts have been made to address neighborhood racial segregation, including legislation and policies aimed at promoting fair housing and reducing discrimination. However, achieving fully integrated neighborhoods remains a challenge, and segregation continues to persist in many cities around the world.
