Research on gentrification in London, undertaken by the Geographic Data Service in collaboration with Trust for London, was featured on BBC Politics London.
Tracking annual residential moves over the past 25 years, findings show that people are increasingly moving into London’s gentrified neighbourhoods from relatively less deprived areas, and from farther afield — pointing to greater population churn and transformation taking place within these areas.
Our work builds on previous research undertaken by the Trust, which identified 53 low-income neighbourhoods in London that saw the most extreme increases in average incomes from 2012 to 2020.
Smart data can enable understanding of the ways in which our cities and their populations are evolving, in more depth and detail than ever before, producing highly-localised and timely insights. Access our data now via the GeoDS Data Catalogue.
