About the Demographic Information

The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about London, N21 2EQ is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. They are performed once every 10 years. Our website shows 2021 data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. For Scotland, 2022 data is shown (the Scottish census was performed a year later than the rest of the UK). Please note: census information may include figures for adjacent streets and postcodes. The figures are therefore representative of the local area, not a specific street address or row of houses.

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. You can see the area covered by the census statistics by clicking "Show Census Area Covered" below the map above.

Economic Activity Embed This

This address within the Grange Park ward showed a higher-than-average concentration of retired residents - 35% of the resident population. On average, around 21.7% of census respondents were retired. This represents a significant increase since the 2011 census, where 13.8% were retired. This may be partly explained by the number of people aged 65 years and over increasing in the UK, and partially by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the workforce in the time leading up to the census.
