What would have been an advantage to living in an enclave?

The primary advantage that many people take away from living in an ethnic enclave is that THE LOCALS SHARE THE SAME DISTINCT CULTURE, which is usually different from the mainstream culture. This is particularly advantageous if the mainstream culture is hostile to a particular ethnic group. However, living in an ethnic enclave usually prevents effective assimilation and can be a detriment to having an economically successful life in the larger society.
