London, Paris, Manchester, Birmingham — the poor side of town is the east. It's not a coincidence. Across Europe the wind blows mostly from the west — in London about 70% of the year. When coal came, factory chimneys went up everywhere and the wind carried their smoke east. Whoever could afford it moved west into clean air; the poor stayed in the smoke, by the factories. Economists found 5,000 chimneys on Victorian maps of 70 English cities: in 1881 the poor lived right under the smoke — and before coal, there was no east–west gap at all. The smoke stopped in the 1970s, but the map didn't: homes where it was worst still sell for about 40% less. It's a tendency, not a law — in our own count of England's 41 biggest towns the east is poorer in 18 and the west in 11. So which side of your city is the poor one? 👇 Sources: The study: 5,000 chimneys, 70 English cities, no gap before 1817, ~40% house prices, up to 20% of today's segregation — Heblich, Trew & Zylberberg, "East-Side Story", Journal of Political Economy 129(5), 2021 — https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/223823/1/223823.pdf Wind mostly from the south-west, westerly ~70% of the year at Heathrow — https://www.heathrow.com/company/local-community/noise/operations/wind-direction The westerlies, 30–60°, and the Coriolis effect — https://www.nationalgeographic.org/topics/wind/ Paris: the west wind and the move west (historian Stéphane Frioux) — https://connexionfrance.com/magazine/go-west-why-the-wealthy-shun-the-east-of-town-in-france/120059 London, Manchester, Birmingham maps: English Indices of Deprivation 2019 (MHCLG) — https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019 Paris area map: INSEE Filosofi 2023, median income by arrondissement and commune — https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/8984752 The other cities on the map (England: IMD 2019; France: INSEE Filosofi 2023) are our own east-vs-west count — method and full results in the pinned comment.
