South

The South neighbourhood is comprised of Bloomsbury, Holborn & Covent Garden and King’s Cross wards.

The South neighbourhood has high levels of economic inactivity, which may be reflective of the large student population living in this part of the borough.

It also has relatively high levels of overcrowded housing. Despite generally good access to green spaces, the South of the borough experiences the highest exposure to air pollution.

The South neighbourhood has the highest proportions of households with children living in relative poverty.

In addition to large Bangladeshi populations in Holborn & Covent Garden (14%) and Kings Cross (13%), there are significant Chinese populations in Bloomsbury (9.3%) and King’s Cross (7.7%).
