Ghettos vs. Enclaves

A ghetto is defined as a "portion of a city in which members of a minority group live; especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure." An enclave is defined as a territory whose geographical boundaries lie entirely within the boundaries of another territory. The similarities between the two are that they both tend to be small in size. Not only are they small in size but they tend to be densely populated and overcrowded. They also both tend to have the same kind of economic situation. Ghettos and enclaves both tend to be on the lower end of the economical ladder. The major difference between a ghetto and an enclave are that a ghetto tends to be people that are almost forced or threatened to live there. Enclaves are usually people of the same culture, social, or economical status that voluntarily choose to live together. Ghettos are viewed as threatening and undesirable areas to live. Enclaves tend to be places for tourists such as China Town and Little Italy. So although both are the same in parts they are also very different.
