Geographical segregation
Populations can be considered any plant or animal species, human genders, followers of a certain religion, people of different nationalities, ethnic groups, etc.
Different dimensions of segregation (or its contrary) are recognized: exposure, evenness, clustering, concentration, centralization, etc.
[3][4] Segregation, as a broad concept, has appeared in all parts of the world where people exist—in different contexts and times it takes on different forms, shaped by the physical and human environments.
[6][7] Segregation can be caused by legal frameworks, such as in the extreme example of apartheid in South Africa, and even Jewish ghettoization in Germany in the 20th century.
Represented through the significant gap in homeownership, income status, and education levels in communities of color versus majority white.
Current day, many communities within the United States are still segregated, due to the ongoing racial inequalities still present and self-segregation.
Some privileged people will acquire better land (that is, more arable, proximate to potential capital, more pleasing views).
Demand for these nicer habitats drives up prices, and areas deemed “better” based solely on geography become inherently exclusionary in their population makeup.
It begins when affluent families, usually of white racial identity, move into these lower-income neighborhoods and invest their money into the community.
These improvements to the community consist of reconstructing public transit, the businesses within downtown areas, and the houses in neighborhoods.
[17] Another segregation term, the ghetto, has been used in many different contexts over time, generally meaning any physical part of a city predominantly occupied by any particular group of people.
These localized phenomena also come in the form of ethnoburbs, which are essentially the same concept as an ethnic enclave, but specifically located in suburbs, rather than the traditional downtowns, where Chinatowns and Little Italys are usually based.
