Thanks, Michael. For ease of reference I've attached the spreadsheet and an extract for Haringey ranked by the percentage of remain votes. Fascinating to see which the top two wards were. I added a map last year showing ethic origin by geography, but can't find it. I wonder if that would hold any clues for these two results.

The BBC News article seems to indicate that the key factors are education, age and ethnicity in that order:
"The level of education had a higher correlation with the voting pattern than any other major demographic measure from the census.The age of voters was also important, with older electorates more likely to choose Leave
Ethnicity was crucial in some places, with ethnic minority areas generally more likely to back Remain. However this varied, and in parts of London some Asian populations were more likely to support Leave."The combination of education, age and ethnicity accounts for the large majority of the variation in votes between different places

Indeed, that's why my mind went to the ethnic origin of those two wards. From the map I found, I seem to remember a high proportion of Eastern Europeans in those areas. To the best of my knowledge there's not a higher than average level of education amongst the population of those wards nor are they older than average.

No it was the wrinklies who wanted out. The young voted to remain. There's lots of student accommodation around Tottenham Hale. I'm not that familiar with Northumberland Park.

I think you're extrapolating from London. Age doesn't really seem to be as big a factor in other cities. In the city I'm from the leave vote was far higher than could be attributed just to age

I'm just relating what the BBC article stated. I find it hard to take on that even within our borough the votes varied from as low as 60% up to a whopping 85%. That's a big difference.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the national vote.

Please don't be disrespectful to older people. Life passes by so quickly you will be a 'wrinklie' before you know it. It comes to us all.

I already consider myself a borderline "wrinklie" (certainly greying and weathered in general) and used the term as a term of endearment not one of disrespect. But if it caused you any offence, I apologise.

The local votes are interesting but the one to care about was in the Commons a few days ago. There was a resounding vote in support of Brexit. This support is backed by most of the popular newspapers and big companies. Apple's boss went to Downing Street yesterday to tell the Prime Minister that he is increasing the size of his new Europe headquarters in Battersea because he is so confident the UK will prosper outside of the EU.
So sit back, forget the bemoaners, and watch London and the UK prosper away from the failing EU.

No, he's doing it because he can pay people in the English Peso.
