An affordable area with active regeneration, W7 1DE is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. The 45 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 80% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 65% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Ealing. Full-time employment stands at 14% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 46 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
