Definition

Affluent poor segregation refers to the separation of individuals of lower economic status who reside in wealthy neighborhoods. This can occur due to factors such as limited affordable housing options in affluent areas, discrimination, or social exclusion based on socio-economic status. The result is a lack of socio-economic diversity within affluent communities, which can further perpetuate inequalities and limit opportunities for socio-economic mobility.
