Aggregate housing statistics mask sharp variation among different Muslim groups.

Evidence

This appears to show that Muslims are less likely to own their homes compared with the population as a whole and more likely to live in social rented accommodation. However, this is not representative of all Muslims groups and although Pakistanis are still less likely to own their homes outright compared with the national figure, at 23%, they are more likely to own their homes with a mortgage, with 40.5% doing so. When combining the overall figures for ownership, Pakistanis are on par with the population as a whole. However, only 9% of Bangladeshis report outright ownership, and 34.5% do so with a mortgage or loan. Furthermore, Pakistanis are less likely to live in social housing (7%) than both the population as a whole (9%) and Bangladeshis (19%). — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 256
