Minority residential segregation

Minority residential segregation refers to the concentration of minority individuals or groups in specific neighborhoods or areas within a city or region, often as a result of historical discrimination, economic disparities, or social exclusion. This segregation can lead to unequal access to resources, services, and opportunities for minority residents compared to those living in more affluent or predominantly white neighborhoods. Minority residential segregation can contribute to social isolation, limited upward mobility, and disparities in health, education, and economic outcomes for minority populations. Efforts to address minority residential segregation often involve policies and practices aimed at promoting fair housing, affordable housing options, and inclusive communities.
