Abstract
The Greek population of Sydney is of substantial size, constituting one of the ten largest urban Greek populations in the world. Distinct ethnic concentrations of Greeks have formed in the inner suburbs. The origins and character of the Greek settlements are complex, reflecting economic and cultural factors, migration processes and the residential stratification pattern of the total society. Cross‐classifications of the Greek population by age, period of residence and occupation indicated considerable variations between the Greek and Australian‐born population in areas of ethnic concentration. The life cycle stage and occupational differentials between the ethnic and host society populations in the same area complicate the common view of urban residential social structure as simply reflecting familism, segregation and socio‐.economic status as independent elements of residential differentiation.
