Clustering (demographics)

In demographics, clustering refers to the gathering of various populationsbased on ethnicity, economicsor religion.

In countries which hold equality as important clustering occurs between groups because of polarizing factors such as religion, wealth or ethnocentrism. Clustering is often considered an enriching part of free cultures in which one can visit a chinatownor a French quarter for restaurant choices. However in other cases it can lead to near genocidalpolitics as in the Israeli Palestinian conflict/ Arab Israeli conflict.
