In summary

Hampstead Garden Suburb is in the least-deprived 10–20% of England, ranked #1,294 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #3 of 42 in Barnet.

Typical homes here, about £1,670,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 28% in five years (from 85 sales) — roughly 2.9× the wider Barnet median of £575,500.
