“In our study, we used property registration data for the 40% most deprived census areas of Glasgow in Scotland. We created a longitudinal dataset – one that follows individual homeowners over time – constructed from the population of homebuyers recorded in all property transaction records from 2003 to 2014.
“Crucially for our purposes, the property registration data we used recorded the names of both buyers and sellers in each house transaction. How people respond to particular sorts of names can reveal certain prejudices. One 2009 study based on in-depth interviews with “white” and “non-white” participants in Glasgow, for example, found that white residents responded with racialised or prejudiced attitudes when faced with the hypothetical scenario that a person with a stereotypically Muslim name was thinking of moving into the house next door. Respondents associated such names with Islamic terrorism and with stereotypes of Asian neighbours being loud, inconsiderate, and living in overcrowded conditions.” |
