In summary

Hampstead Town is in the least-deprived 10–20% of England, ranked #876 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #3 of 27 in Camden. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Education (98) but weak on Living environment (4). Typical homes here sold for about £1,550,000 over the past year, up 17% across five years (from 92 sales) — roughly 2.0× 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 #6,828 of 6,851 — you pay for the postcode here. Typical household take-home income is around £68,812 a year, among England's highest. Recorded crime ran at 124 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.

Crimes are counted where they happen while residents are counted where they live, so busy town-centre, retail and nightlife areas show high per-resident rates because visitors bring incidents with them.
