One thing I've noticed one evening ages ago as a teen, while riding the tram through a neighborhood not too dissimilar from this one. The old houses with their decorated facades are the first ones to have their windows lit up. The cheap, simplistic post-war houses that have replaced many of them, tend to stay dark longer.
It's almost like being rich enough to afford a flat in a multi-family mansion also means coming home from work earlier, while the poorer people need to work more for what little they have in comparison. Now, one always has to take into consideration that it might just be the other family members who are at home already and that's why the light is on.
Really? Who's to say every household in the cheapo flats is just one person. That's rather unlikely as well. So apparently both partners, if we assume an average family situation, need to be working longer hours to survive in the cheaper parts of the city. But then, they probably work small unimportant jobs like nurses and medics, garbage workers, bus drivers, firefighters, and all sorts of stuff the city could do well without, couldn't it? So I guess it's only fair they barely make ends meet.
Not everyone who isn't at home, is necessarily at work of course. That's another caveat one has to consider. My own windows weren't lit either while I was enjoying the stroll here. But then, that's why I usually talk of tendencies rather than facts or rules or the likes.
