In summary
Wimbledon Common is one of the least-deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in England — #176 of 6,856 nationally, among the most-advantaged neighbourhoods on the index, and #1 of 25 in Merton. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Health (99) but weak on Living environment (28). Typical homes here, about £2,000,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 62% in five years (from 73 sales) — roughly 3.6× the wider Merton median of £550,000. It pairs low deprivation with well-above-average prices, so on our affordability-adjusted measure it lands at #6,846 of 6,851 — you pay for the postcode here. Typical household take-home income is around £64,432 a year, among England's highest. Recorded crime ran at 45 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
