Muslims prefer mixed neighbourhoods more than other groups do.

Evidence

This behavioural tendency is further supported by polling on the kinds of neighbourhoods Muslims would ideally choose to live in. For example, when asked, ‘If you could live in any neighbourhood in this country, which comes closest to describing the one you would prefer?’, Muslims are nearly 10% more likely than non-Muslims to want to live in ‘mixed’ neighbourhoods (of Muslims and non-Muslims) and half as likely to want to live in exclusively Muslim neighbourhoods as other groups are to want to live in neighbourhoods exclusively reflecting their ethnic or religious groups (Gallup 2011). — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 466
