Definition[edit | edit source]

Affluent white segregation refers to the practice of wealthy white individuals or families living in exclusive communities or neighborhoods that are predominantly white, while excluding or limiting access to individuals from other racial or socio-economic backgrounds. This type of segregation can perpetuate systemic inequalities and limit opportunities for social and economic mobility for marginalized groups. It can also contribute to the perpetuation of racial divisions and disparities in society.
