In Patterson’s study of Brixton, it was found that:

black and white residents competed for economic resources
African-Caribbean migrants were concentrated in the poorest and most expensive housing
white working class communities resented the arrival of black families
all of the above
all of the above  In 1963, Sheila Patterson conducted a study of Brixton, a traditionally working class area of London that had seen increasing rates of immigration since the 1940s. She found that there was a great racial divide between African-Caribbean immigrants and the white population, based on unfamiliarity and lack of contact. Black and white residents competed for jobs and economic resources, and there was a great deal of conflict and resentment. In particular, the immigrants tended to be offered the worst quality, most expensive housing, making it harder for them to break out of their conditions. 217-219
