Definition

Hyper segregation is a term used to describe extreme levels of racial and economic segregation in a particular area. This typically involves the concentration of a specific racial or economic group in certain neighborhoods or areas, leading to limited social interaction and opportunities for residents of different backgrounds. Hyper segregation is often associated with systemic discrimination and inequality, resulting in disparities in access to resources, services, and opportunities for marginalized communities.
