Abstract
Current theories explaining Asian non-participation in council housing are described and criticised. An analysis of the situation in the northern industrial city of Blackburn, Lancashire, serves to highlight the increasing inadequacies of these theories. Evidence presented here suggests that, for a number of reasons, Asians are now applying for, and being granted, council houses in significantly larger numbers. The reasons for this are discussed in detail, as are temporal and spatial patterns of residence. Patterns of intra-urban mobility occasioned by the move into council housing are also discussed as is the likely impact of such mobility on overall levels of segregation.
