Common questions

Which has less crime, W1F or W1S?

W1S recorded fewer crimes in the same period (4676 in W1F against 4387 in W1S, Police.uk). Busier places record more, so read this alongside how built-up each area is rather than on its own.

Is W1F or W1S the more affluent area?

On the Index of Multiple Deprivation, W1F sits in decile 4 of 10 and W1S in decile 4, where 10 is the least deprived.

Should I buy in W1F or W1S?

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.
