Editing Neighborhood residential segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Neighborhood residential segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals of a particular race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status are concentrated in specific neighborhoods or geographic areas. This segregation can occur due to historical patterns of discriminatory housing policies, socioeconomic disparities, institutional racism, and personal preferences. Residential segregation can have significant implications for access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life for individuals living in segregated neighborhoods. It can also perpetuate existing inequalities and contribute to social division and disparities between different groups within a community. Efforts to address residential segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equal access to housing and community resources for all residents.
