On the official English Indices of Deprivation, the 176 neighbourhoods that make up Lambeth average 4.4 out of 10 (1 = most deprived in England, 10 = least) — more deprived than most of England. 24% of its neighbourhoods sit in the least-deprived half of the country, while 8% are in the most-deprived fifth. On the index's crime domain it averages 4.3/10, pointing to higher recorded-crime pressure relative to England as a whole. Averages hide street-level variation — the map below shows how each neighbourhood differs.
