Bermondsey Street v Blaneau Gwent, a thread
@ONS data shows places in England and Wales where households earn over £60,000 before tax, from Pay As You Earn income and benefits - excluding self-assessed income. Limited dataset but a fascinating one..

Here are the local authorities with the highest proportion of households earning £60k+ from PAYE income and benefits. Fairly unsurprising but note for virtually all areas it's pretty low, less than 1 in 8 (although richer areas will have far more people on self-assessment).

Here are the areas with the lowest. Lots in the north and Midlands yes. But loads of Wales - Blaenau Gwent is bottom. A fair few in the South West. Also Barking, just a few tube stops from the City of London...

We can zoom in even further to look at tiny 'LSOA areas' - units of 1,000-3,000 people . Note the top ones don't include the very richest areas - the millionaires of Mayfair and Belgravia will be firmly on self-assessment...

Four of the five top LSOA areas are around Bermondsey Street just east of London Bridge.
Look up areas by Googling "Doogal Southwark 003K" (for eg). This website is great but not very searchable: doogle.co.uk

What about the areas with the lowest proportion? Well that's harder to answer because the figure is *0.0%* of households for a huge *one in ten LSOAs*. (That doesn't mean literally no households earn £60k+, it's rounded down, and obvs some will be self-assessment.)

Where are these areas - where one in ten people in England and Wales live? They're spread all over. Lots in Wales. Deprived Northern towns. But also big cities - loads in Hull, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester. A lot in inner London, even a few in Oxford, Havant, Bath...

(8/9) The *median* proportion of households with PAYE income and benefits above £60,000 is just *1.3%*. Half of LSOAs are lower than this.

This is a patchy dataset so use it with caution - it doesn't include self-assessed income. What it does tell us is that for most people in England and Wales, a tiny proportion of their neighbours have a PAYE household income of £60k+. Caveats again:
