Spatial inequality is the unequal amounts of qualities or resources and services depending on the area or location, such as medical or welfare. Some communities have a greater range of resources and services and then those that would be able to change that do not live near or associate with those communities making it almost impossible to change this cycle. The space within the different locations is the clustering of various groups of people who share similar socioeconomic statuses.
Spatial inequality is caused by many things, such as religion, culture, or race. Areas of people in poverty will remain that way until various resources and services are introduced. Resources are things such as fresh drinking water. Services include educational institutions and hospitals/other health services. In the geographical space, various regions (area, district, province, states) showing different levels of socioeconomic development is called spatial inequality in regional development.
