*Estimate should be interpreted with caution due to high variability

In Middlesex-London in 2015/16 the proportion of the population exceeding the LRADGs increased as household income increased.

In the lowest income quintile (Q1) the rate proportion was 33.6% compared to highest income quintile (Q5) where the rate was nearly double (60.4%). This is a statistically significant difference.
