A large chunk of Indian Muslims are living with hand-to-mouth existence either by way of self-employment in petty trades or by working in the unorganized sectors, like construction workers, cycle rickshaw pullers, handcart rickshaw pullers, venders, coolies, barbers, tailors, carpenters, fitters, plumbers, electricians or welders, etc. The few significant reports such as 'Gopal Singh Report', 'Sachar Committee Report', etc. also revealed that Muslim community is the most socially as well as economically deprived community among the Indian population. Therefore, the present paper, aims to analyze the spatial variations of economic characteristics in respect of economic structure like occupation, income, expenditure, and habit of the saving of money, household durable goods etc. of Kayamkhani community in Bhilwara district, Rajasthan. The study is based on primary data collected through the field survey and direct questionnaire to the respondents in Bhilwara district. The survey was carried out during the months of February and March, 2010. The studies reveal that 80 percent Kayamkhani's live in Pucca Houses and 91 percent have their own houses.
