County segregation refers to the pattern of racial or ethnic segregation within a county. It occurs when people of different racial or ethnic groups live in separate areas within a county, resulting in distinct neighborhoods or communities that are predominantly composed of one particular group. This segregation can be the result of historical social and economic factors, discriminatory housing practices, or personal preferences. County segregation can contribute to disparities in access to resources and opportunities, such as quality education, healthcare, and employment, for different racial or ethnic groups. It can also perpetuate social inequalities and limit social integration and understanding between different communities. | County segregation refers to the pattern of racial or ethnic segregation within a county.
