segregated
Divided by category
Segregated describes something divided or kept apart, especially by category or group.
Segregated schools and segregated neighborhoods historically separated people by race—a system enforced by law in the American South until the mid-20th century.
Beyond race, spaces can be segregated by sex, age, or other distinctions: a gender-segregated dormitory.
Segregated funds are kept separate from general accounts.
