A Story in the London Times about research on the links between social class and street names:
"Living in a Common is not so common, but a Path can go wrong way, reports our correspondent on a study of road names
"Using certain words has long been said to indicate your social class. Now researchers have suggested that the name of your road is equally revealing."
See how your own address rates, or not:

Mine did pretty poorly in the rankings... but then my street names are uncommon and thus won't make any rankings where frequency matters (the results would have been equally low if poverty rather than wealth, urban instead of rural, etc. were used)
I wonder how American Street names might rate....
