Islington North

What is distinctive here

These moved unusually against comparable areas, and did not simply move with them. A change shared with everywhere else is a fact about the country, not this place.

MeasurePeriodValueChangeAgainst peers
% of economically inactive student Apr 2025-Mar 2026 26.2% -12 in the bottom 3% of 555
% aged 16-64 who are self employed Apr 2025-Mar 2026 10.9% -2.2 in the bottom 9% of 629

Moving with the rest of the country

Shown separately because these say something about the country rather than about Islington North.
