Where do Britain’s rich and poor live?

Here are two maps showing Britain’s wealthiest and poorest households. (Unlike some of the previous maps I have posted about the US, this map of the UK relies on assets rather than income to determine who is rich and who is poor). I found this via the BBC from a Joseph Rowntree Foundation study: Poverty and wealth across Britain 1968 to 2005 Unlike the US, there seems to be very little rural poverty in the UK.
