Ward population and statistics (2021)

Ward profiles provide detailed information on the resident population of each ward. These profiles aim to bring together key data at Islington ward level to help compare characteristics of each ward population. View them under 'Useful documents' on this page.

Each of the ward profiles includes: demographics, economic activity, housing, health and wellbeing, children and young people, and community safety. This provides a focus on areas where councillors can take action to improve outcomes for residents. 

Please note that the latest ward profiles were published in 2021 - before the 2022 ward boundary changes - so do not map onto the current boundaries or ward names or reflect current ward statistical data.
