united states

Formal residential segregation refers to the enforced separation of different racial or ethnic groups into distinct residential areas through laws, policies, or practices. This may involve the creation of segregated neighborhoods, the restriction of housing options for certain groups, or the establishment of discriminatory practices in housing markets. Formal residential segregation can have long-lasting impacts on social and economic disparities between different groups and can perpetuate systemic inequalities.
