Abstract: Abstract This final chapter illustrates an example of the potential applications of the Onomap classification developed in this book. It consists in a detailed geographical application of the at the small area scale, particularly in ethnicity profiling of neighbourhoods. The chapter introduces the context of measuring ethnicity in London’s diverse population, justifying the analysis of residential segregation using people’s names. Traditional dimensions and indicators of residential segregation, drawn from the sociological and geographical literature, are implemented comparing both the Census of Population with the name-based approach. Results are discussed identifying key findings and research challenges; in particular the implications of scale effects and the overall complex population dynamics of London.
