What does this indicator show?

This indicator ranks London’s neighbourhoods according to its level of crime.

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.

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, the new `report card` system commenced in November 2025. We will be reviewing this indicator when the new data are availa…
