I was about to do the same for Glasgow...methinks I'll nick the colour scheme.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

methinks I'll nick the colour scheme.

Feel free to... but change the values to fit (somewhat) with Glasgow's overall pattern.

Thanks. I had intended to do a two colour scheme (based on the city wide average) but it didn't represent well.

Here is Glasgow with Al's colours and ranges. Just for comparison.

Manchester this time. And SOA (middle) again. Buddhist map not so funny this time; the biggest concentration is in areas with lots of Chinese (most of them are nonreligious, of course, but they are also much more likely to be Buddhist than average).

What is that 11% Jewish ward sticking out like that?

What is that 11% Jewish ward sticking out like that?

They aren't wards; they're a census-area a bit smaller than wards (using it so as to get a clearer picture; wards in most cities are far too large. It's not quite as big a problem in Manchester as Brum though...).

Anyway.

That area is basically Crumpsall; used to be a fairly well-to-do suburb but is now quite working class (and, politically, the personal fiefdom of Council-Leader-For-Life Sir Richard Leese). It's just north of Cheetham Hill (basically Manchester's Jewish ghetto in the 19th and early 20th centuries; tram conducters used to call the main stop there "Jerusalem Junction") which is now Manchester's main Pakistani ghetto though which still (surprisingly) has a sizeable (if small) Jewish population, and presumably we're just dealing with a case of the community moving up in the world and moving to better places nearby. Of course it also borders a part of Salford (Broughton Park and so on) that happens to be the most Jewish area in Britain (big, big Hasidic community there) and maybe there's some overspill from there.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Somewhat needless to say this map considerably understates the impact of Irish immigration to Manchester. Really we're only covering the late 20th century stuff. And, yes, when you add West Indian and African together, it is a higher number than White-British in the Moss Side SOA.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Leeds now. Note that the area mapped isn't the same as covered by the local authority (which includes more than just a few "seperate" towns (some of which, like Pudsey, are actually pretty big) and even some fairly genuine rural areas on the edges). The same will be done for other Yorkshire cities.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Liverpool. A pity that they didn't breakdown by Protestant-Catholic here...

[Sbane]

Hindus and Jews live together. Interesting.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah, you even get some of the same sort of overlapping in parts of London. There's obviously a preference in both groups for a certain sort of suburbia.

[Sbane]

Good schools?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Tenure in Brum. I am apparently unable to spell mortgage.

What's up with that stronghold of Private Renting?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What's up with that stronghold of Private Renting?

That's Bournbrook; 19th century terraces south of Birmingham University. It's something like 70% student or so. Bournbrook isn't to be confused with nearby Bournville which looks like a council estate (it isn't) on the third map because the BVT is technically a social landlord.

[minionofmidas]

BVT?

Yeah, I guessed it might have summat to do with a uni.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

BVT?

Bournville Village Trust

The area was developed as a semi-utopian company town by the Quaker chocolate manufacturer (and, after the First World War, ILP donor) George Cadbury. Some pictures:

Religion in inner Brum by lower SOA:



Bigger picture here

Included be just about everywhere that a sane might think of as inner city, plus also the older parts of Edgbaston and so on. A little arbitrary in places, but such is life.

Anyway, if you have questions I can answer most of them, probably.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Same for ethnic stuff.

[minionofmidas]

Doesn't Birmingham have a huge Kashmiri population? I guess they identify as "Pakistani"?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Doesn't Birmingham have a huge Kashmiri population?

Massive.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Yes; the only alternative for them would be Other Asian. Pretty much all of Birmingham's "Pakistanis" are Kashmiris (of course, that's actually true of most places outside London).

Has a map been produced of the new 2010 constituencies asking the question "Which are the rural seats in the UK?" (or does that ask another question "What's a rural seat?")

Hindus and Jews live together. Interesting.

That's common in N.J., too.

That's common in N.J., too.

Do you think there is a reason for that or is it just coincidence? I don't think similar patterns exist in California.
