Human mosaic: maps of honeycombed British society

Parts of Britain resemble a melting pot that more than rivals any found in America. Some others appear to be social monocultures where almost everyone is white, married, has children and owns or is buying a house. But scratch beneath the superficial banality of middle England and there too is a rainbow: there is the widest variety of lives, life chances and experience. To reveal the social geology of Britain Bethan Thomas and Danny Dorling have drawn re-projected maps¹—maps where the scale is measured in human lives.
