Weath and Poverty: Is It That Important?

In terms of social arrangements, wealth and poverty is an important factor, but I don't think it is the most important. Take for example, communities. Yes, financial stability is an important factor in determining where one lives or what part of a community they live in. For example, I live in a small town that is extremely affluent, but just a five-minute car ride away, there is another area that is less affluent and it is evident in their living arrangement. The two areas, where I live and the area nearby, are clearly divided by wealth. Like I said, this isn't the only factor. Social status, religion, ethnic/cultural backgrounds also play into the way social arrangements are organized. People tend to live among others like themselves, so this automatically segregates people in that way too.
