In summary

Wimbledon Hill is one of the least-deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in England, ranked #348 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #6 of 25 in Merton. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Education (99) but weak on Living environment (17). Typical homes here sold for about £700,000 over the past year, down 7% across five years (from 103 sales), 27% above 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 #6,063 of 6,851 — you pay for the postcode here. Typical household take-home income is around £68,484 a year, among England's highest. Recorded crime ran at 48 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
