These 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.

Open a summary of the key findings from the data, including a set of top 5 rankings (PDF). Note: This summary is of data contained in the first release (July 2011).

The full datasets and more information for each of the indicators is available either on the London Datastore or from the London Skills and Employment Observatory. A link to each of the datasets is contained in the spreadsheet and map.

Borough Profiles

On opening the spreadsheet a simple drop down box allows you to choose which borough 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.

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.
