The Harrow Vitality Profiles contains facts and In order to ensure that we spend our resources figures about the borough, sourced from wisely we need to understand the changing demographic, social and economic databases. nature of Harrow. The Harrow Vitality Profiles provides us with key information to help the This fourth Harrow Vitality Profile report in nine council, strategic partners and the voluntary years draws upon information in the public sector to plan service delivery and build stronger domain and from within the council. It presents it communities for the future. We need to continue in a way that that makes it interesting, to prepare for the challenges ahead and to be informative and easy to read. The consistent able to bid for and secure additional funding format allows us to compare one neighbourhood from the Mayor of London, central government with another, at different geographic levels, and and Europe in order to obtain further resources to see how the borough measures up regionally, for those areas in need. This report is a starting and nationally. place for those that require some sound statistics and information in order to help In these fast changing times it is essential to achieve these and other community objectives. have a good understanding of the borough and the people and neighbourhoods that make Harrow such an interesting and unique community. These key indicators have once again been brought together as a snapshot in time.

The latest Harrow Vitality Profiles report has been strengthened by outputs from the 2011 Census, most evident in the enlarged section on the People of Harrow. With a population of over 242,000 living in an area of just under twenty square miles, this chapter highlights the diversity of the borough and how our neighbourhoods are evolving over time. More detailed household information indicates where and how we are living and new education datasets show how our young people continue to achieve results above the national average. This reflects the high standard of the borough’s schools, one of the key factors which make the borough an attractive place to live.

“When dealing with queries from the public about the council's enforcement priorities, the Harrow Vitality Profiles provide a very real demonstration of how the council uses data to target resources to the requirements of a particular area.”

(Service Manager, Public Realm Enforcement, Community Safety Services)

The population estimates made between census years (2002 to 2010) were revised by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) following the 2011 Census in order to provide a consistent series of population estimates over time. These were published at local authority level in April 2013, but the corresponding revised back series of population estimates at LSOA level had not been published during the production period of the Harrow Vitality Profiles. This means that the denominators for all the comparator data for earlier years have not been revised. 2011 Census data has been used as the denominator for the majority of the updated and new indicators in this report.

Indices of Deprivation 2010

Indices of Deprivation 2010 The Indices of Deprivation 2010 (ID 2010) are the Government’s main measure of deprivation at the Lower Super Output Area level (LSOA) and they help identify areas of need.

The ID 2010 updates the ID 2007 using more up-to-date data, largely relating to 2008, although some variables still come from the 2001 Census. New Indices of Deprivation using the 2011 Census are likely to be commissioned by the Government and may be published in 2015.

The ID 2010 consists of an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), broken down into seven separate indices. These relate to income, employment, health and disability, education skills and training, barriers to housing and services, living environment, and crime. There are two supplementary Income indices (Income Deprivation affecting Children and Income Deprivation affecting Older People) and six sub- domains. The overall Index of Multiple Deprivation can be used to compare the extent of and concentrations of deprivation within and across local authorities in England.

It is important to note that not all disadvantaged people live in deprived areas and conversely, not everyone living in a deprived area is disadvantaged.

The Harrow Vitality Profiles show the proportion of LSOAs which fall within the 20% most deprived nationally, or the 20% least deprived nationally - for each of the separate indices. The LSOA ranked 1 in the ID 2010 is the most deprived and that ranked 32,482 is the least deprived.

The chart below shows a ward level analysis of the overall IMD for Harrow for 2004, 2007 and 2010. Although the ID 2010 are not produced at ward level, analyses of the average LSOA scores shows that Harrow’s most deprived wards in 2010 were Wealdstone, Roxbourne, Greenhill and Marlborough.

Comparison between the IMD 2010 and the IMD 2007 shows that six wards have become more deprived, six have become less deprived and nine have held their place. Of those that have become more deprived both Harrow Weald and Stanmore Park moved up two places. Correspondingly Queensbury and Kenton West moved down the rankings by two places.

In 2009 there was a local government restructure which reduced the number of local authorities from 354 to 326. However, in order to be able to compare the rankings with previous years the following charts show Harrow’s overall ranking based on pre-2009 borough and district boundaries. as well as within London overall, which was not affected by the boundary changes. Again, lower rankings denote higher levels of deprivation. The multiple deprivation indicator is based on the average rank measure, whilst all other measures are based on the average score.

Two thirds of London LSOAs have above average levels of deprivation, the highest of any region, with by far the smallest proportion of LSOAs among the least deprived quintile.

Harrow’s overall IMD ranking (based on average rank) changed from 196th to 203rd, out of 354 (pre- 2009) Districts in England. Three of Harrow’s LSOAs are in England’s 20% most deprived LSOAs, compared to two in 2007 and these are in Hatch End, Stanmore Park and Roxbourne. Harrow has no LSOAs in the top 10% most deprived nationally.

23 of Harrow’s LSOAs are in the least deprived 20% in the country, as in 2007. Eight of those are in the least deprived 10%; they are in Hatch End, Headstone North, Pinner and Pinner South wards.

There has been positive progress between 2007 and 2010 so that Harrow is now a largely less deprived place. The Barriers to Housing domain causes the most concern, being the area where the borough performs least well and also the indicator with the greatest increase in deprivation since 2007.

Economic Deprivation Indices

Economic Deprivation Indices, 1999 to 2009 In December 2012 the Department for Communities (CLG) published new indices of economic deprivation giving a consistent measure of economic deprivation at small area level (LSOA) in England between the years 1999 and 2009. The indices take account of changes to the tax and benefit systems over this period, allowing changes over time to be measured. They are based on the current number of district and unitary authorities (326).

The Economic Deprivation Index (EDI) comprises two domains - Income Deprivation (IDD) and Employment Deprivation (EDD), which are given equal weight in calculating the overall EDI. The Children in Income Deprived households Index (CIDI) is a sub-set of the Income Deprivation Domain of the EDI. The CIDI is a measure of child poverty and represents the proportion of dependent children (aged under 16) living in low income households, where an adult (under 60) is in receipt of certain out-of- work means-tested benefits. The 2009 data is summarised in the next four pages and is based on the average rank measure.

The EDI uses the same general methodology as the Income and Employment domains of the Indices of Deprivation (ID), but with slightly narrower definitions of employment deprivation and therefore complements the ID 2010. Some of the indicators used in the EDI 2009 use more recent data than the ID 2010. Likewise the CIDI complements the Income Deprivation Affecting Children (IDACI) indicator from the Indices of Deprivation (ID) 2010. The IDACI is based on a slightly broader definition of income deprivation than the CIDI, but some of the indicators used in the CIDI 2009 use more up-to-date data than the ID 2010.

Greenhill in particular has 256.9 Harrow Town Centre businesses per 1,000 households - 2.5 times the rate of the next ward, Edgware, which has 388 businesses. Kenton East contains just 1% (59) of all Harrow’s businesses.

The central corridor of the borough has the most businesses whilst the west side, the north and south-east of the borough have the fewest. This indicates areas with fewer opportunities for local employment and commercial services for residents.

There are nine LSOAs (6.6%) in Harrow which do not contain any business premises.

Non-domestic rates (often called business rates) are the means by which local businesses and other occupiers of non-domestic properties contribute towards the cost of local authority services. Liable properties include public buildings and advertising hoardings. Some non- domestic properties, such as buildings for public religious worship, are exempt however. Collected by the council, they are paid to the government, then distributed back to all councils according to a needs-based formula.

The highest concentrations of residents in temporary accommodation are in locations with hostels, which are traditionally used to house those in need.

The previous government set targets for all London Boroughs to reduce the number of temporary accommodation units by 50% between 2005 and December 2010. The policy was based on research that highlighted the impact on the health, education and job opportunities of those in temporary accommodation. Harrow achieved this in advance of the deadline.

Harrow’s Housing Needs Team has continued to reduce the need for temporary accommodation through high quality housing advice, mediation services, resolving financial issues and negotiation or legal advocacy. In addition, accepted homeless families are offered the opportunity to move to a property of their choice in the private sector, either through Help2Let (Harrow’s in-house social lettings agency), or by finding their own accommodation, without losing their priority on the waiting list. However, recent government welfare reforms are leading to increasing homelessness in 2013.
