Spatial income segregation

2003
united states

Spatial income segregation refers to the physical separation of individuals or households with different income levels within a specific geographic area, such as a neighborhood, city, or region. This segregation can result from various factors, including housing prices, access to amenities and resources, and social or economic policies that impact the distribution of income across different areas. Spatial income segregation can lead to disparities in access to opportunities and resources, as well as reinforce socioeconomic inequalities within a community. Efforts to address spatial income segregation often involve strategies to promote more equitable development and affordable housing options across different neighborhoods.
