Definition
{NoteAI} Altitudinal residential segregation refers to the phenomenon where different socioeconomic groups or ethnicities tend to live at different elevations within a geographic area. This kind of segregation can occur in mountainous regions, where higher elevations may be associated with higher-income neighborhoods and lower elevations with lower-income neighborhoods. Altitudinal residential segregation can contribute to social and economic inequalities, as people living at different elevations may have unequal access to resources and opportunities.
