► We provide field experimental evidence on trust discrimination at the city level. ► Trust varies substantially depending on the residential district of the trading partner. ► We identify economic status as the main determinant of trust discrimination. ► There is an in-group effect in trust discrimination: people trust more if their partner lives in the same district. ► The in-group effect is, at least partly, driven by more accurate beliefs about behavior of in-group members.
