ethnic communities
Heritage-based population clusters
Ethnic communities are groups of people who share a common cultural heritage, ancestry, language, or national origin and often live in proximity or maintain close social ties.
The term typically appears in discussions of diversity, immigration, and urban demographics: The city's ethnic communities each hold annual festivals.
It can refer to immigrant enclaves, indigenous populations, or any culturally distinct group within a larger society.
