I'm a white middle class professional who grew up in the suburbs, launched career in urban environments, lived in London for 12 years, then fled to the country. I now live in a totally rural location. Moving out of London to live in the country is a common middle class trajectory in the UK, but this article completely fails to capture that.
- mcguire 11y agoThe charts place the move-to-the-country stage of life at age 55+.

- jjp 11y agoAgreed, think the article title is misleading because it implies it covers everybody whereas it only really covers people who live in cities. The PDF cited in the article with a title of "Urban demographics - Why people live where they do" is more accurate.
