Spatial racial segregation refers to the physical separation of different racial groups within a specific geographical area. This occurs when racial or ethnic minorities are concentrated in particular neighborhoods or regions, while others groups are concentrated in different areas. Spatial racial segregation can occur for various reasons, including discrimination, economic disparities, historical factors, and social prejudices. It can have significant social and economic implications, contributing to inequalities in access to resources, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Efforts to address spatial racial segregation often involve policies and initiatives focused on promoting integration and equity.
