Residential segregation is the geographical isolation of the poor from the rest of a city’s population. explain how residential segregation is able to flourish in the united states and what characterizes a neighborhood that is segregated in this manner.

Explanation:    Residential segregation is, by definition, primarily geographical, but in urban conditions, the spatial isolation and separation of different social groups within geographical area. Social groups are usually classified by their social status, ranging from poor, slightly richer, rich, etc. Residential segregation can be deepened and viewed as racial, ethnic, national, but here is about residential segregation on the basis of social status, thus the segregation of settlements where the poor live. Housing policy has always been profit-driven, among other things, so in certain areas, housing for the poor at a certain price and high population density has been designed. The so-called social housing at a social price are apartments that the poor can only afford. As the high density of settlements and the low cost are affordable for the poor, only the poor will live in such settlements, therefore separate.

The flourishing of such settlements, so residential segregation, is influenced, among other things, by historical circumstances, i.e increased immigration or not. Then there are the trends of time and the need for labour, therefore the current causes, as well as the life chances and opportunities of such social groups.

Such neighbourhoods that are separated are usually unsafe, there is a lot of crime and danger as the poor live in such settlements. This does not mean that the poor are criminals, they simply live in a poor environment and see it as the only way out. The conclusion is that residential segregation is adversely affects precisely poor and minorities, because they are exposed to an environment where the only thing they see as a way out is crime.
