Editing Residential poverty segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Residential poverty segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals living in poverty are concentrated in certain neighborhoods or areas, leading to a physical and social separation based on socioeconomic status. This can result in limited access to resources, higher crime rates, lower quality housing, inadequate educational opportunities, and overall poorer quality of life for residents of these segregated areas. Residential poverty segregation is often a result of systemic inequalities, discrimination, and lack of affordable housing options. Efforts to address residential poverty segregation can include policies and programs aimed at promoting economic diversity in neighborhoods, providing affordable housing options, and increasing access to resources and opportunities for residents in impoverished areas.
