London has become the most unequal city in the western world, according to Professor Danny Dorling of the University of Sheffield.
His new book
Injustice: Why Social Inequality Persists, shows that the richest tenth of Londoners had an average wealth of £933,563, a figure 273 times greater than the lowest 10 per cent, with an average wealth of £3,420. The gap is bigger than comparable cities such as New York or Tokyo.
And zooming in on Haringey,
the data shows our borough as the most divided borough in London. Of its 19 wards, four are in the richest 10% and five are in the poorest 10%.
London's Poverty Profile has been created by one of London's largest charitable trusts, the City Parochial Foundation, and the independent think tank, New Policy Institute. It uses the latest official data to reveal patterns of poverty across the capital. It looks at how London compares to other English regions and cities, and the differences between London boroughs.
