The Surrey Comet is reporting an interesting Government website that provides ward by ward analysis of the Borough. The statistics include education, housing, salary etc. Not surprisingly it reports that Kingston is rich, happy and clever.
The most surprising element is that concerning Berrylands. Could you have believed that Berrylands has the second lowest proprotion or owner occpupied property; second only to Norbiton. In fact 40% of Berrylands is rented accommodation against 10.5% across Kingston. It also appears that contrary to the view that Berrylands is an area of retired people this has changed radically over the years.
These are not especially new figures just a new way of presenting them. You can see the site here. It is interesting to put in your own postcode and see the local area in which you live.
