In summary

Belsize Park is in the least-deprived 10–20% of England, ranked #848 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #2 of 27 in Camden. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Income (90) but weak on Living environment (18). Typical homes here sold for about £857,000 over the past year, broadly flat over five years (+7%) (from 95 sales), 12% above the wider Camden median of £765,000. It pairs low deprivation with well-above-average prices, so on our affordability-adjusted measure it lands at #6,634 of 6,851 — you pay for the postcode here. Typical household take-home income is around £64,099 a year, among England's highest. Recorded crime ran at 57 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
