List of named ethnic enclaves in North American cities This is a
list of ethnic enclaves in North American cities .
The term
ethnic enclave when used in the context of North American cities, has a slightly different meaning than it does when used elsewhere. The formal use of
enclave implies a community or population that is essentially trapped within walls and completely surrounded by an unfriendly population or government.
European enclaves are somewhat more common in the North and East; Asian enclaves are somewhat more common in the West.
