Common questions

Which has less crime, EC1R or N1P?

N1P recorded fewer crimes in the same period (2947 in EC1R against 2213 in N1P, Police.uk). Busier places record more, so read this alongside how built-up each area is rather than on its own.

Is EC1R or N1P the more affluent area?

On the Index of Multiple Deprivation, EC1R sits in decile 4 of 10 and N1P in decile 5, where 10 is the least deprived.

Should I buy in EC1R or N1P?

That depends on what you need, and no dataset answers it. What this page gives you is the evidence side by side: what homes actually sell for, the energy ratings, the flood zone, recorded crime and deprivation, each traced to the body that published it.
