This page displays additional graphs from the paper "Residential Segregation and Unequal Access to Local Public Services in India: Evidence from 1.5m Neighborhoods." Due to space constraints, we could not include every permutation of every analysis in the paper. This page shows additional results that did not make it into the paper, for every social group, public or private service, indicator and location.

Segregation of Muslim and Scheduled Caste communities

Use the dropdowns below to view the graph of interest
This figure shows the distribution of segregation across rural Indian subdistricts, using the dissimilarity index. Dissimilarity is calculated across neighorhoods within each subdistrict. The SC/Muslim density functions are weighted by each subdistrict’s SC/Muslim population, such that each curve represents the experience of marginalized group members.

Access to public/private social services in marginalized neighborhoods
