Canary Wharf electoral ward · May 2026 boundaries. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
Homes rented privately: 54% here, compared with 38% across Tower Hamlets (15.4 percentage points higher).
A larger private-rented sector changes the mix of housing advice, enforcement and tenant support needed. It does not tell us whether individual homes are affordable or safe.

People aged 16+ with a degree or equivalent: 64.3% here, compared with 50.3% across Tower Hamlets (14 percentage points higher).
Qualifications show local skills, not whether people have secure jobs or use those skills at work.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and unusable locations excluded.
An empty ward count means no mapped rows in the complete required force files; it does not prove that no crime occurred.
These are retrieved mapped records, not a guarantee of complete crime reporting. Approximate locations and unmapped incidents limit comparisons.
Missing ward-months invalidate totals and changes. Busy centres attract visitors, so residential population is not a measure of the number of people exposed.
