Methods, systems, and devices for memory block utilization in memory systems are described. A system configured to allow a memory device to group or segment a memory block into two or more sub-memory blocks, which can be independently programmed is described herein. For example, a host system may determine a configuration of a memory array, and communicate the configuration information to the memory system, and transmit a command for an operation to the memory system. In some examples, the memory system may utilize the memory array configuration information and determine to segment the blocks of memory cells into sub-blocks. By segmenting the memory block into sub-blocks, the memory device may maintain its memory block density while supporting efficient programming of blocks of the memory array.
