From what I noted, both Everton and Liverpool supporters share a common demographic. In the past, a lot of the economy centred around the docks (hence your reference to "labourers") but currently, there is an even split between white and blue collared folk.
Yes, it's also common knowledge that both clubs are from the same area i.e. Merseyside, hence the rivalry. It isn't uncommon for families to have split loyalties. Both stadiums are indeed a stone's throw away from one another. I reckon one of the reasons we have to move from Anfield and not expand is because some Evertonians live around it and are unwilling to move.
from what i know, the old days many workers from the docks (blue collar worker) supported LFc. (even Robbie fowler had a teeshirt flash supporting them over a dock issue when he scored for Lfc game) Yes, it's also common knowledge that both clubs are from the same area i.e. Merseyside, hence the rivalry.

Everton had some big local (supermarket owner & several well heeled families) amongst their fans base & it was seen as more 'white-collar' fan base.
