Even Though, residential segregation is an illegal practice in the country, it is very common to see it around the cities.

Explanation:

In the United States, it is possible to see residential segregation usually in minority groups and this kind of division occurs according to different patterns such as race and income. For example, latin-American, Afro-American, Asian, white communities can represent some of the imaginary boundaries created by residential segregation. According to some theorists, residential segregation occurs when unconsciously residents choose their house according to the outside looking that the neighbourhood can show, and their pre-established preferences about it.
