People aged 16+ with a degree or equivalent: 37.9% here, compared with 50.3% across Tower Hamlets (12.5 percentage points lower).

Homes rented privately: 29% here, compared with 38% across Tower Hamlets (9.6 percentage points lower).

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.
