cultural enclave
Immigrant community zone
A cultural enclave is a neighborhood or district where a particular ethnic, religious, or cultural group concentrates, maintaining distinct customs, languages, and institutions: Chinatown, Little Italy, the Orthodox Jewish enclave in Brooklyn.
Enclaves may form through immigration patterns, economic opportunity, or deliberate separation.
The term can be neutral or carry implications of insularity.
