The scriptures refer to the three heavens:
1) the atmosphere in which the bird fly.
2) the space beyond where the planets and stars reside
3) the heaven beyond that which is the habitation of God
Genesis mentions "heavens" (plural) in 2:1.
Paul mentions heaven #3 in his Epistles:

The three heavens refer to:
1. The first heaven, the atmosphere where the birds fly
2. The second heaven, outer space
3. The third heaven, what most people associate with the word heaven.

You're referring to the three separate degrees of glory Paul taught about in 1 Cor 15:40-41.
Only one church has the restored truth about this fundamental question: the nature of God and heaven.

I've heard vague references to it but I believe there is only one. What possible reason would God have for segregating anyone in heaven?

That sounds fairly similar to a doctrine of my religion.
You got to think along the lines of - is God going to send the mostly good people (who maybe didn't get a couple things right) straight to hell? I don't think so, I think there will be a fair judgement, and a proper place for everyone.
