Definition

Anglo residential segregation refers to the pattern of Anglo, or white, individuals living in separate neighborhoods or communities from people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. This type of segregation is often the result of historical discriminatory housing practices and policies, such as redlining and restrictive covenants, which prevented people of color from buying or renting homes in certain areas.

Anglo residential segregation can lead to disparities in access to quality schools, healthcare, and other resources for different racial and ethnic groups. It can also perpetuate inequalities and hinder social integration and cohesion. Efforts to address and combat Anglo residential segregation include policies promoting fair housing practices, affordable housing initiatives, and community development programs that promote diversity and inclusion.
