improving, held with strong confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2026-07.
Pay in Wandsworth has been growing, and the view is held strongly. Median pay was 3,799 in April 2025, 3,815 in July, 3,835 in August, 3,924 in December 2025, 3,992 in March 2026 and 3,983 in April 2026, each recorded as favourable against the usual pattern for its month, with household income per head at 49,715 in 2024 also favourable. December 2024 at 3,799 was the one unfavourable reading. Six favourable months plus the annual income measure, against one.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Wandsworth. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
