Latino residential segregation refers to the spatial separation of Latino populations from other racial or ethnic groups within a community or city. This segregation can result from various factors, including economic inequality, discrimination, historic patterns of settlement, and social and cultural preferences. It can manifest in the form of Latino-majority neighborhoods or entire communities that are predominantly Latino, with limited interaction or integration with other racial or ethnic groups. This segregation can have negative impacts on educational opportunities, economic mobility, health outcomes, and overall quality of life for Latino residents. Efforts to address Latino residential segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equal access to resources and opportunities across different neighborhoods and communities.
