Abstract
It is argued in this paper that Berge's valuable reanalysis of my data generally supports, rather than contradicts, my conclusions regarding social and tenurial change in the South East. His use of indices of overrepresentation and underrepresentation points to the central role of the housing market in shaping the spatial distribution of different social groups. Although he shows that professionals and managers became slightly less proportionately overrepresented in owner occupation, some of Berge's interpretations of his tables are questioned.Keywords
