Who's got the most muticultural neighbours?

I have two homes – where I live in Edinburgh isn’t hugely multi-cultural, however where I live in London is very much so.

there’s an Italian and Indonesian couple across the road that’s it.

I have a Brexiteer one side and a Policewoman the other.

That streetcheck page is interesting….

For my postcode…

376 people
372 White
2 Mixed Ethnicity
1 Asian
1 Other…..

For the postcode where I grew up…

18% white
only 33% of residents born in England

For religion, out of 447 people,

149 Christian
136 Hindu
121 Muslim
A couple of Buddhists & only one Sikh which surprised me….

I live in one of a block of four terraced houses.
The first house I don’t know where they are from but there English is very bad but at a guess I would say North African. The second house is mine, he third house a young Romanian family live and in the fourth house there is a Portuguese couple.

This is very recent two years ago all were owned by local English family’s who lived in them long enough to raise a family but have now moved on and sold to buy to let landlords, apart from the Portuguese who own there house.

Interesting link there doris.

https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/

according to that, 263 people live on my street

there are 16 houses, so that’s roughly 16.5 people per house. Seems quite packed, there are only 2 people in our house so smoe of the others muct be really cramped 🙂

in fact to my knowledge at the time of the last census there were (takes off socks to carry on counting up…) 45, including the kids – still more than I’d have expected to be frank as there were at least 2 single occupant houses, both ladies having been widowed

Not me, I think I am the closest to being foreign because I went to France over christmas 😆

I don’t understand that “streetcheck” thing. According to them there are 286 people in my postcode – I doubt it very much, there’s only 4 houses!!

Having lived in areas where as a white bloke I was definitely in the minority, and really enjoyed it (I’m soooooooooo cosmopolitan daaaaaaaahlinng) I now live somewhere where they still burn witches.

Had a massive barney about a year ago in my local with a few of the regulars. Apparently I was being a precious snowflake for objecting to them blaming all the country’s ills on ‘****’s’ and ‘****’. It’s like living in a bad sitcom starring Jim Davidson

I don’t understand that “streetcheck” thing.

Me neither, it says that on my street there is one terraced house; how’s that work?

According to Street Check, there’s one Chinese person living in my street. They must spend a lot of time indoors.

Darlington is a very white British town. To maintain stereotypes, the only non-white British people in my street are the Hindu family who run the corner shop and a Gypsy family who own a haulage company.

We live in a cul-de-sac – that is proper French so we must be multicultural.

Like most of Scotland our road reflects the nation – about a third of us are English. 😉

At the outdoor centre on Loch Tay one of our old staff was known as, and would self proclaim, he was the only black in the village….

It’s based on Census Output Area data rather than actual postcode.

from the link:
They are supposed to have at least 40 people to maintain confidentiality.

Ahh, there’s a bit of info on the housing tab under the link “Are these numbers higher than you expected? Click here for explanation.”

About the Census Data
The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Waterside Avenue, Marple, Stockport, is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2011. They are performed once every 10 years. Please note: census information may include figures for adjacent streets and postcodes. The figures are therefore representative of the local area, not a specific street address or row of houses. .

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. You can see the area covered by the census statistics by clicking “Show Census Area Covered” below the map on the Summary tab.

I live in Bradford which is racially segregated. So where I live, the neighbours are all British white.

I have no problem with my neighbours they are nice people but the landlord who recently bought the house to my right where the family of unknown origin live completely destroyed the beautiful front an rear gardens cutting and ripping out any sign of life leaving just a Barron dead mess because he believed that because the gardens looked like they needed maintaining was putting people off, the landlord for the sake of post is Asian.

According to that website I live in the most non-multicultural and middle class road, ever…. 😕

117 people, 111 are UK residents, 86 Scottish and 24 English, 100% white, 27 working of which 24 of us are AB, no flats or terraces and 75% of the homes are owned outright….

Monday to Wednesday (or Thursday) “home” is west London, specifally the environs of Shepherds Bush. Multicultural is an understatement.

Thurs – Sun, home is a small village in the North as white as the driven snow.

In both places I am an interloper.

out of 101 people in my area, theres 68 scots, 21 english, and 1 indian according to streetcheck. Been here for over 10 years and dont think ive ever seen an indian….

That Stretcheck seems pretty accurate for where I live – 489 White and 3 Mixed. Country of birth is UK apart from 6 EU and 3 Other. Interestingly, 67 people don’t hold a passport.
Can’t be much of West Yorkshire with numbers like that surely?

Small Hampshire village…

The one Chinese is a lovely fella who spends most of the year in Hong Kong.
The “other Asian” is the result of next doors son having Zero social skills – so he bought himself a Thai bride.

White 101
Mixed Ethnicity 3
Pakistani 143
Chinese 5
Other Asian 21

What do I win?

Hmm, very small somerset village. Streetcheck says this:

White 279
Mixed Ethnicity 5
Bangladeshi 1
Other Asian 2
Black Caribbean 1
Total 288

And to be honest, i have no idea where the non whites are living – even the 3 non English people I know are 1 Irish 1 Portuguese and 1 Spanish. I actually fear a little bit for my kids education!

Sadly, just prior to brexit the spanish lady (a local school teacher) was told ‘I’ll be glad when we’re out and we can kick your kind out of the country’ right outside her front door. A real shame her husband (quite a talanted amature boxer) wasn’t there to hear…..

Where I used to live (East park Road, Leicester) it is now this:

Ethnic Group
White 33
Mixed Ethnicity 8
Indian 245
Pakistani 26
Bangladeshi 7
Chinese 1
Other Asian 20
Black Caribbean 2
Other Black/African/Caribbean 1
Other 13
Total 356

Which feels like it’s swung to a few less whites, but the general feel of the place would be the same.

street check says 59% white and 69% English born which seem about right , though I would guess a fair few of the white are not also English born .

I was born in Ossett in the 60S and we didn’t have any non white residents till I was 12 and then just the one Indian family running a corner shop.

Where I grew up in wembley

About as multicultural as it gets in the local town
Singhbury's Local, Aylesbury by Stephen Cannon[/url], on Flickr

We’ve got: Romanian, French, unidentified Eastern European, white British, Afro-Caribbean and some bonus crusties in caravans on our street. The joys of East Central Bristol. For the most part, everyone gets along.

Do I win?

So no – some of my best friends are not black 🙁

When I was at school the new English teacher (who arrived from Burnley) noted the lack of diversity. She asked the class if there were any non-whites in the area. There was a long pause until somebody said, “I think there’s a Chinese family in xxx (Highland town 30 miles away).

100% Weegie on both sides.

Weegie is the most diverse type of diversity. .

Not very it seems.

My neighbours are sheep, a few horses, a couple of tawny owls and a barn owl on one side… couple of locals next door (Cumbrian), and a southerner across the way (multicultural see!).

This is what you get for living in the Lakes 😉

This………. Kinda 😉

I could have taken a girl home to my parents of absolutely any ethnicity and my parents and neighbours would have unquestioningly welcomed her into their homes………………..unless she went to St. Brendan’s High School

I genuinely overhead a conversation between two old guys when I was a kid debating if the local Asian shopkeeper was a Protestant Muslim or a Catholic Muslim. 😯

Liverpool. White British in every house on my road.

When I lived back home in West Yorkshire there were a lot of people on my street from various cultures. I was on friendly terms with most of them.

In Macclesfield my neighbours, all bar one, are middle class whiteys. The bar one is Mr Wong, nice guy but seems quite nervous or shy so only know him to wave / nod at.

So what you’re saying is in your street, most are all white, but there’s one guy who is a completely Wong.

You’ve just lost the right to mock one of my shit puns ever again. Even I wouldn’t have gone with that. 😉

We had some offcomers once. Fed us for the winter.
