Not the traditional white people type, mainstream, T.V. Steve Urkel nerd, but someone who has ghetto characteristics, lives in the ghetto and participates in ghetto activities (probably because they don't come from money either), but at the same time is a nerd, not popular in the hood, tries to keep his or her head in the books, and aspires to get out of the hood through education and legal jobs.
Ex:
The young dude that never comes out to hang out or be all in the streets but you see him daily going back and forth to school, 'cause he lives right around the corner.

A girl who's living a double life. She's hood at home, but stuck in the books at school. People are intimidated by her and she has trouble finding a clique she fits into. She is strong and true to herself.
She likes to smoke weed and hang out in the street, but you'd never know she's smart as hell. She's def a ghetto nerd girl.

A geographical location where nerds congregate, often to live, socialize, or work. In nerd ghettos, most occupations are performed by nerds in a unique form of vertical integration. Thus nerds are your politicians, teachers, businessmen, bureaucrats, bankers, technicians, auto mechanics, used car salesmen, dentists, customer servants, flunkies, gardeners, housekeepers, gas station attendants, janitors, garbage collectors, nurses, and so on. In a nerd ghetto you can strike up a conversation about computers with just about anybody, and everyone's intellect deserves respect.
Anytown, USA is such a nerd ghetto that even the cats are intellectuals. Yesterday I was practicing my book report on War and Peace and Fluffy seemed to be listening the whole time.
