What is your social status?

[Wezil]

Yep, I'm the gutter sweeper.

Mosaic type with highest index # Coronation Street
Index of top Mosaic type * 154
% of people with a more rural name 15
% of people with a more high-status name 74

Yay...

I'm in the part of Denmark where my surname is most common, and even here it's very rare (and it's a name that comes from these parts)

[Starchild]

I want to find out what these mosaic types mean.

Agreed. The link doesn't work.

I want to know why I'm tied to a crappy TV show.

Go to the above website.
Go to the surname search.
Type in your surname.
Select your surname.
Go to the link "Geographical location".

Under social demographics it will tell you how high your social status is.



It's based on UK data, but I'm sure it will work!

Yeah, my name seems to be predominant in the North, and unsurprisingly, around where I come from in North/East Yorkshire.

Now as for my dads real surname (long story), that is very predominantly...Merseyside?! Yikes, I'm descended from Scousers

Mine was some place called Huddersfield. Since I have absolutely no idea where that even is can someone that knows tell me how bad that really is?

Location in Australia was Tasmania. I know that can't be good.

US location was West Virginia. If I'm not mistaken that is hillbilly territory... (my apologies if I'm wrong and to all hillbillies if I'm right)

[Provost Harrison]

I appear to fall under "Coronation Street" whatever that means...do I have to go around saying "hot pot Betty" in a Lancastrian accent or something?

[Provost Harrison]

And my dads "real" name is an Upland Hill Farmer. Is that anything like an uphill gardener?

[Wezil]

We're neighbours.

It's in West Yorkshire...somewhere (roughly) between Leeds and Manchester...

[Provost Harrison]

My own name is most predominant in York, which isn't very far from where I originate, although it is rather a common name anyway...

Yea, West Virginia is hillbilly territory.
