Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Residence is not generally considered a variable in measuring social class. Rather, social class is typically determined by a combination of factors such as income, education, occupation, wealth, and sometimes other factors such as cultural capital or social networks. While where one lives may be influenced by their social class (e.g. living in a high-end neighborhood), it is not typically used as a direct measure of one's social class.
