Schelling Segregation

By Sean Luke

A variation of Thomas Schelling's Segregation Model. We model two groups of people: Red and Blue. Each person prefers that there be at least threshold number of like-colored people living within neighborhood distance away from him. If this is not the case, he will get up and move to another location. In our version of the model, when a person wishes to move, he picks a random empty location to move to. The model also includes uninhabitable gray areas. See the Models tab to adjust these parameters.
