People aged 16+ with a degree or equivalent: 40.4% here, compared with 74.2% across City of London (33.8 percentage points lower).
Qualifications show local skills, not whether people have secure jobs or use those skills at work.

Homes rented privately: 22% here, compared with 48% across City of London (26.3 percentage points lower).
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.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and records without usable locations are excluded.
Do not compare directly with Scottish council-level recorded crime totals.
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.
