This chapter discusses how individual choices and behaviors can lead to large-scale patterns of segregation even without explicit prejudice. It explores mathematical models where people have mild preferences for living near others similar to themselves and shows how this leads neighborhoods to polarize along attributes like race over time through feedback loops. The findings suggest implicit preferences may significantly impact diversity and integration outcomes in housing and other domains.
