Crime, rebased for London (2019)
Last updated: February 2025
Next update: January 2026 (TBC)
What does this indicator show?
This indicator shows the level of crime in London’s neighbourhoods.
It uses the English Indices of Deprivation, which gives each neighbourhood an overall deprivation score. It does this by combining data from seven areas known as domains, one of which is crime.
For this indicator, we have excluded all non-London neighbourhoods and divided them into five equal groups - known as quintiles. This allows us to quickly see which areas of London have the highest levels of crime. Darker neighbourhoods face the highest levels of crime, lighter areas the least.
What does it tell us?
Neighbourhoods with higher levels of crime are spread all over the city. However, there are concentrations of neighbourhoods with higher levels of crime in North London boroughs such as…

Average income deprivation percentile of the neighbourhoods schools are located in by Ofsted rating (2024)
Last updated: January 2025
Next estimated update: January 2026
What’s this?
This chart compares the levels of income deprivation in the neighborhoods where schools are located, based on their overall Ofsted ratings. The income deprivation percentile shows how deprived a neighbourhood is compared to all others. The higher the number, the more deprived the neighbourhood.
Ofsted overall ratings were given to schools by inspectors and range from “Inadequate” to “Outstanding”. Ratings were based on a range of observations about a school's performance. These overall ratings have now been abolished, and there is a consultation on a suggested "report card" system due in January 2025. We will be reviewing this indicator when the new data are available.
What does it show?
On average, the better a school’s Ofsted rating is, the less deprived a neighbourh…
