Definition

White spatial segregation refers to the physical separation of white individuals from individuals of other races within a certain geographic area. This segregation can manifest in various ways, such as through the development of predominantly white neighborhoods or communities, the exclusion of people of color from certain spaces or amenities, or the enforcement of discriminatory housing policies that prevent individuals of different races from living in certain areas. This segregation can contribute to inequalities in access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life based on race.
