Abstract: The ‘causal’ role of geographical location can be overplayed in spatial analysis. In Northern Ireland the distribution of the dominant religious groups may be at least as important. Two models to explain social—economic patterns in this region are suggested, one based on religious groups and one upon location, and attempts are made to examine their separate influence in the geography of journey-to-work flows. The results suggest that location is the more important factor behind patterns at the inter-local-authority scale of analysis chosen.
