This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.

This report was released in September 2010. However, recent demographic data is available on the datastore - you may find other datasets on the Datastore useful such as: GLA Population Projections, National Insurance Number Registrations of Overseas Nationals, Births by Birthplace of Mother, Births and Fertility Rates, Office for National Statistics (ONS) Population Estimates

FOCUSONLONDON2010:POPULATIONANDMIGRATION

London is the United Kingdom’s only city region. Its population of 7.75 million is 12.5 per cent of the UK population living on just 0.6 per cent of the land area. London’s average population density is over 4,900 persons per square kilometre, this is ten times that of the second most densely populated region.

Between 2001 and 2009 London’s population grew by over 430 thousand, more than any other region, accounting for over 16 per cent of the UK increase.

This report discusses in detail the population of London including Population Age Structure, Fertility and Mortality, Internal Migration, International Migration, Population Turnover and Churn, and Demographic Projections.

Population and Migration report is the first release of the Focus on London 2010-12 series. Reports on themes such as Income, Poverty, Labour Market, Skills, Health, and Housing are also available.

The London Borough Profiles help paint a general picture of an area by presenting a range of headline indicator data in both spreadsheet and map form to help show statistics covering demographic, economic, social and environmental datasets for each borough, alongside relevant comparator areas. The London Borough Atlas does the same but provides further detailed breakdowns and time-series data for each borough. The full datasets and more information for each of the indicators are usually available on the London Datastore. A link to each of the datasets is contained in the spreadsheet and map. London Borough Profiles On opening the Microsoft Excel version, a simple drop down box allows you to choose which borough profile you are interested in. Selecting this will display data for that borough, plus either Inner or Outer London, London and a national comparator (usually England where data is available). To see the full set of data for all 33 local authorities in London plus the comparator areas in Excel, click the 'Data' worksheet. A chart and a map are also available to help visualise the data for all boroughs (macros must be enabled for the Excel map to function). The data is set out across 11 themes covering most of the key indicators relating to demographic, economic, social and environmental data. Sources are provided in the spreadsheet. Notes about the indicator are provided in comment boxes attached to the indicator names. For a geographical and bar chart representation of the profile data, choose the InstantAtlas version. Choose indicators from the left hand side. Click on the comparators to make them appear on the chart and map. Sources, links to data, and notes are all contained in the box in the bottom right hand corner. These profiles include data relating to: Population, Households (census), Demographics, Migrant population, Ethnicity, Language, Employment, NEET, DWP Benefits (client group), Housing Benefit, Qualifications, Earnings, Volunteering, Jobs density, Business Survival, Crime, Fires, House prices, New homes, Tenure, Greenspace, Recycling, Carbon Emissions, Cars, Public Transport Accessibility (PTAL), Indices of Multiple Deprivation, GCSE results, Children looked after, Children in out-of-work families, Life Expectancy, Teenage conceptions, Happiness levels, Political control, and Election turnout.

These reports provide a summary of the seven domains of deprivation for each individual ward, taken from the LSOA analysis provided by The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as part of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2019. With additional supporting data to further the picture of deprivation within those wards. They look at the population demographics, socio-economic, criminal activity and population health of each ward to provide a more narrative picture of the issues faced at a local level.The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) released the 2019 update of the English Indices of Deprivation on 26 September 2019 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019 This follows previous releases in 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2015.

The 2019 Indices comprise 39 indicators organised across seven domains, which are then weighted and combined to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). The domains and weightings are set out below. Appendix 1 summarises the 2019 IMD model detail and sets out the very minor changes from 2015 model.

Two supplementary sub domains are also included:

• Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) • Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI)

The IMD is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA), or neighbourhood, in England (NB the IMD is not published at ward level). Within the IMD, every neighbourhood in England is ranked according to its level of deprivation relative to that of other areas.

The average of the combined scores for each LSOA in the local authority (LA) area, weighted for population, is called the ‘Rank of average score’ and is typically used as the overall measure of deprivation. 317 LA areas are ranked in the 2019 model.

These reports provide a summary of the latest available information on the demographic and socioeconomic make-up of the 2015 election Wards within Middlesbrough. They look at the population structure and provide information on the economic, housing and educational achievement of the 2015 election Wards.

Newham, Barking and Dagenham, and Haringey had the highest average gross yield in London in 2023. In Newham, the average yield was **** percent. Westminster, on the other hand, had the lowest rental yield, at under *** percent. Rental yield is a measure of profitability and shows the annual rental income as a share of the property price.

Ealing was the London borough with the most new housing construction completions, which amounted to ***** units. Some of the other boroughs with the highest number of completions were Croydon, Newham, Hounslow, and Tower Hamlets. In contrast, there were no housing completions in the City of London. The number of dwelling starts in London has fluctuated a lot during the last decade.

Newham and Greenwich were the boroughs in London with the highest number of new housing construction starts in 2022/2023. Most of those dwellings were being developed by the private sector. That year, there were no construction starts in the City of London, while there were only ** housing starts in Sutton. The figures for some of the boroughs were imputed, which means that those values were missing and were replaced with other data.

According to the forecast, house prices in London are expected to fall slightly in 2024, followed by a recovery in the following years. The decline can be explained with the cost of living crisis and the dramatic increase in borrowing costs.
