Abstract: In this paper the author reanalyses the data on the sociotenurial development in South East England in the period 1966–1981, as presented by Hamnett in 1987. If one takes into account the changing composition both of the work force and of the housing market, the data would seem to suggest that there has been no sociotenurial polarisation process going on between 1966 and 1981. The changes seem to be best described as a segregation process where the low-status occupational groups are increasing their share of council-rented housing units, more so in Greater London than in the rest of the South East. The data also suggest that the segregation process operates almost exclusively through the housing market.
